Well my experience with the .300 WSM is a tad skinny. I once helped a young man (college age) sight in his new M70 .300 WSM. in the standard weight rifle. Very accurate and recoil was not bad at all. My other time with the cartridge was when my son in law asked me to do the load work up for his .300 WSM M70 Featherweight. I had the rifle for a couple of weeks and again while recoil was noticeable I didn't think it was all that bad considering the light weight and it too gave decent accuracy In fact I liked the rifle and considered getting one myself but with five rifle in .300 Win. Mag. in the safe I really couldn't justify the WSM.
