[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1265296, member: 14204"] You won't be saving much on your old shoulder with the same bullet, velocity/energy off the same weight rifle ... Below is a comparison; 62g of Win 760 for the .338-06 (23 1/2" 1:9") and 66.3g IMR 4350 for .338 WM (24" 1:10") a 2700 FPS propelling the 225g IB (SOURCE: Hornady 9th). [IMG]http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f258/lara3ec/.338-06%20vs%20.338%20WM_zps2jbp7ry6.jpg[/IMG] I can push the 225 off my rifle at 2825 FPS and with it's muzzle brake, felt recoil is comparable to that off a .308 Win. It boils down to personal preference and application. My personal preference is the .338 WM. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
