[QUOTE="wildcat westerner, post: 2537110, member: 21361"] I'm committed to this Win. chambering by the items I have on hand , arriving daily and also my past history of direct comparison of the various 338's at Whittington. Every point made here is valid, faster velocity ensures less reaction to wind, heavier bullets at a faster velocity are really superior, especially at long distances. That being said I also know about the human factor and a humans' response' to recoil. I simply shoot the .338 Winchesters more accurately. I have shot well enough to have set two worlds records at long distance. In addition since I saw my last patient 14 years ago before retirement I know exactly anatomically which nerves in what location are being affected when the trigger gets squeezed. I do not demean other peoples choices and certainly understand other superior ballistic arguments. But, as for me, even with all the superior advantages commonly available nowadays: heavier longer, better made barrels, superior bullets and ammunition, advanced muzzlebrakes, superior optics, etc., recoil is recoil and no amount of weight can reduce its total effect on the nervous system. My friend who has passed on had a superior, highest quality .338 Lapua Improved that shot really great groups with the 300 Berger bullets. Paul knew what he was doing when he sat at the benchrest. That rifle weighed 47 pounds. I know I carried it for him to the benchrest in Idaho, ONCE. [/QUOTE]
