[QUOTE="Deleted member 25294, post: 715404"] I'm moving to AK and considering a 338 win mag for an all around medium to long range hunting/brown bear rifle. I've looked at the 338 RUM and the ballistics are impressive, but I hear the recoil is much more extreme than the win mag. I shoot 3 1/2" 2 oz turkey loads without any problems but I have no idea what the RUM is capable of. I don't like brakes so recoil reduction is not an option for the 338RUM. Does anyone have experience loading 250 grn bullets for the 338win mag using a 26" barrel? If I could reasonably achieve 2700-2750 fps with a 250 grn bullet then the win mag should be enough gun for the longer shots. I'd appreciate any feedback from those with experience. [/QUOTE]
