[QUOTE="35 Whelen, post: 1862131, member: 105990"] I don't think you will notice much difference in recoil. I don't have a 338-06 but do have 338 win. mag., 35 Whelen and 400 Whelen. I shot my 35 whelen and 30-06 the other day, one right after the other both with 220gr. bullets, very little difference in recoil. The 400W of coarse has noticeably more but not bad. The 338 Win. mag. is a little more noticeable and a bit sharper recoil. I think the 338-06 is a grate cartridge and I would probably do one if I didn't have the 338 Win. Mag. Quality Cartridge also makes brass for the 338-06. But as you say you don't have the money this year so the 30-06 will get the job done with the right bullet, so if you get to go, go and have fun. You can still build a 338-06 later on. [/QUOTE]
