There's nothing in N or S American that requires a magnum of any kind.
A 300 grain bullet at 2800 FPS out of a 8.75 pound rifle(lot of 'em weigh a pound or so less) recoils with 53.2 ft-lbs. of energy.
Suspect the only real issue, that's not insurmountable, will be the relative ease of finding ammo and brass. Isn't listed by Cabela's. $40 plus per 20 elsewhere.
No brass currently available from Remington, according to Midway. Limited production thing. $63.99 per 20 for Quality Cartridge brass. That's currently on back order.
