[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1975142, member: 63925"] bdyal: I with you on this but there will always be those that cannot accept the 338 from "perceived" recoil even with a 12# rifle and muzzle brake. Most will not carry a rifle that heavy but I do and actually prefer the weight. Heck, I even like to shoot 1 1/4 oz slugs that I reload off bench just for fun of it. They step out at 1475 fps and the recoil from them makes the 338 "pleasant" 😂. As far as I am concerned big bore with big bullets will always have a place, you just cannot replicate the impact of a big heavy bullet at velocity. What ever you hit with them knows it got hit!
