Well, let me just repeat what has undoubtedly been already said...the .300WinMag is better than the .30-06 or the .308 for power and trajectory at longer range. And that is likely about all.
I own a .308 (Ruger American) and a .300WinMag (Savage 111 Hunter). I find the recoil not too much different, but that's likely because the Savage weighs more than the Ruger. And neither hurt my shoulder. My 12ga does, after a 100 rounds or so LOL (Remington 870)
