[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 718119, member: 2567"] recoil of an unbraked 338 rum is pretty stiff, quite a bit more than a 375 h&h with full house loads. I shot mine for over 4 years without a brake, but I won't go back. I hear of guys with 338 rums that kick like a 243, but I have never seen it. My 300 rum kicks like a 243 with 180 gr bullets, but the 338 kicks pretty good with 300 gr bullets and not quite as bad with 225's. I use a walker game ear in my right ear and it keeps my right ear from the muzzle blast and my left ear is against the stock and the game ear also helps me listen for sneaky grizzlies that might be trying to sneak up on me.
