[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1036250, member: 30902"] I have both and shoot both. The 338wm has much better barrel life than the 300 rum. Recoil wise the Rum is a bit stouter shooting the heavier loads but I have brakes on both and don't find them to be unpleasant to shoot. For that matter my 375 Ruger is fun to shoot with the muzzle brake I installed on it. Energy wise the Rum shooting heavy bullets is going to beat the 338 wm by a good bit and is flatter shooting but both are excellent big game calibers. On barrel life the Rum can last a log time, easily exceeding 600 rounds as long as you don't shoot it hot and then keep shooting. For someone who isn't planning on shooting a lot it will last a lifetime. Most hunters will never burn a barrel out because they just don't shoot enough. [/QUOTE]
