[QUOTE="Tyler Kemp, post: 174785, member: 6290"] I'm not sure the .338 is right for me. Currently I'm only 16, and not making that much money, I couldn't afford to shoot it as much as I would like. Plus, the recoil may be too much for me without the brake. I shoot a hot handloaded 45-70, but that's about my limit for recoil and shooting well. With a 338 I don't want a sweet scar above my eye. I haven't shot a 300 RUM or 7mm, but I plan on making a heavier rifle off a Savage action, so recoil shouldn't be bad. 6.5 RUM wouldn't be too much more than the 7mm RM I used this year I would think.
