A well-placed .30-06 bullet from a gun you are comfortable shooting is better than a thrown bullet from a magnum that has you flinching...
Good luck with your choice.

If recoil is of any consideration, then a 220gr bullet is the last thing that you should be considering. A 165gr to 180ge monometal bullet will provide more penetration than the typical 220gr bullet, with significantly less recoil.
