[QUOTE="Deadduck1971, post: 1766480, member: 111703"] No experience with the .338-06 but my 35 Whelen definitely recoils more with 200 grain bullets than my 30-06 with the same weight. Even moreso with 225 or 250's. Would expect the same from the 338. If you want similar ballistics to your .270 with bigger bullets, try a .300 Win Mag. I have a 180 grain load that pretty much mimics my 140 grain in the .270 Win. Otherwise, the 30-06 gets my vote. Either way, I'm thinking you're going to get more recoil moving up in bore, not less.
