300 WSM. I can shoot it without a brake and still manage the recoil. Trajectory and energy more than adequate for everything I've hunted.

I’ve been filling the freezer with 30 nosler a lot. 3 big game animals for 19 so far. 3 shots all 3 zero steps. Still love me some 300 win and 30-378 but my nosler is my fave.

300 wsm for me also.  Was/still em a 7mm fan.  Shot many elk and deer with one.  Bought a Tika in a 300 wsm and fell in love with it.  As I have really bad shoulders, I also (as stated above) can handle the recoil without a brake and it shoots really well.  And as it turns out, the critters hate it as much as they did the 7mm.

My favorite is the one that I traded for something bigger. :chuckle:

I think the 300 WSM was the one I kept the longest. All the others get moved pretty quick for some reason. I've had more 300 Savages than anything else so I guess that would probably be my favorite.
