[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 1974393, member: 106514"] Agreed, it DOES take someone who is very well practiced with their weapon to handle the recoil and blast of a .338 and up reliably. I would speculate that many of the "Western" hunters you experienced wounding and missing with larger calibers bought that rifle just for that hunt or had not used it more than a handful of times in the last 10 years. They had just enough experience to know it kicked h*ll out of them when they fired it! [/QUOTE]
