[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1907902, member: 87243"] I would seriously consider going a different route than a 9 lb 338 norma or 338 lapua or anything in that class without a brake. It is nothing like a 300 wby. It shoots a 300 grain bullet the same velocity your wby shoots a 230. With a brake, ok. Without, not. In all actuality, the power that the norma and lapuas have really isn't necessary until 800+ yards, when prone shots are pretty much essential, and recoil isn't your friend. You won't be happy with an unbraked 9 lb .338 norma. [/QUOTE]
