A list of what can be considered "polite" rifle rounds (low recoil and relatively low noise) for big game hunting
Competent cartridges that can do the job without too much drama (in the right hands some of these can taker any animal on earth), easy on the shoulder for very small framed people and without damaging too much meat (assuming proper bullets).
223 Remington
22-250 Remington
243 Winchester
6 mm Remington
25-30 Winchester
250 Savage
257 Roberts
25-06 Remington
6,5mm Arisaka
6,5mm Carcano
6,5x54mm MS
6,5x55mm Swedish
260 Remington
7X57mm Mauser
7mm-08 Remington
32-20 Winchester
30 carbine
7,62x39mm
30-30 Winchester
32 Winchester Special
300 Savage
35 Remington
38-40 Winchester
38-55 Winchester
357 Magnum
44-40 Winchester
44 Magnum
I left out the 303 British or popular 270 Winchester, 308 Winchester and 30-06 Springfield which, in my opinion, is the threshold when the recoil and muzzle blast start to be significant.
Am I missing any other cartridge which could belong to this special group???
Please fell free to add.
