[QUOTE="BCC72, post: 2720652, member: 125695"] 338WM would be my first choice out of the two. I ran the numbers a while back for a light, hard hitting mountain rifle and the 338’s seemed to be the way to go (for me). I liked the short , light package. My 338RPM Ti weighs in at 6.3 pounds on the scale with a 1-6x24. I don’t find the recoil horrendous. It’s actually very manageable. There’s a lot to be said for a big slower moving bullet. I’m getting 2635 out of an 18” barrel with 225gr and 2890 with 185gr (Labradar chrono). That gives me less than 10MOA, a bit over 1800fps and 1750 energy at 500yds. [/QUOTE]
