I love .30 cals, all of them! Have a .308, 30-06, .300wm, .300wby, and .300wsm

I also would always rather be over-gunned. I look it at it like having 4WD, better have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

And at 260lbs recoil don't rattle my cage at all.

SO, I say go for the .300 OP! Plenty of good ammo options from 150grain all the way up to 220!
