I'm stuck on one song and it is called 30-06.
I'm not very big and need to be conscious of recoil.
When I shoot my '06 at the range I fill a hole I bored in the stock with shot. The hole is 3/4" and about six in. deep. For target shooting it really helps with steadyness. For hunting I take off the butt plate and pour out the shot. In CF rifles for most North American game and uses, the '06 is the all around caliber, IMHO. You can load bullets from 110 grains up to 240. There might even be lighter and heavier I'm not aware of.
There are newer powder that allow loading down to some very moderate velocities and subsequent recoils.
What else is there to talk about?
