Stuck in a slug state and I downsized from a 12ga to a 20ga handififle. I gun hunt like I bow hunt and the thing is a solid tack driver and I shoot Hornady sst's and I have yet to have a deer go very far after the shot. Ok back on track, I found that when I shot the 12 I was in the habit of re-sighting in every year just before we went off to deer camp and it left me with a shooters shoulder. That seemed to effect my shot anticipating the recoil on an already bruised shoulder, I did get a sled to sight in on and practiced my shot and all I can say is night and day. I also shot with a .22 or .243 freehand and found that I did not carry any bad habits into the stand with me. I finally passed my 30-06 off to my son in Colorado because the only thing I could do with it here was punch targets or coyote and he was lookin for an elk gun. I will also say that a semi auto will reduce some, changing loads can make a big difference but that will also change your range card, adding a muzzle brake is expensive but can cut about 1/2 the recoil out, a limbsaver recoil pad, and believe it or not the stock length and design can have a huge effect. I had a friend that changed stocks on his 700 and if you shot the same gun with the original setup and new setup it was night and day. Good luck and happy hunting.
