[QUOTE="Boss Hoss, post: 508068, member: 5060"] Been shooting the 338 Lapua or a variant of it competing, hunting, and plinking long range for over 20 years now. There are a lot of well meaning posts here but I think you can sort through the chaff… You will never feel under gunned or over gunned with the 338 Lapua and as Kirby said with the breaks that exist now recoil is manageable. There is no substitute for horse power and I will tell you that the moose story above would be different if it were a 250 or 300gr pill. If you want to know about shooting the big boys ASK the people that shoot them (like Kirby hint) and you will have a pretty good idea of what to expect. Tooooo many people just regurgitate what they read in the rags and what others have posted on chat boards. Bottom line is you have to feel comfortable with what you are shooting, why???? Simple answer---you do not want to be thinking about “This Thing Is Going To Kick The Snot Out Of Me” you HAVE to be thing about the shot which means condition and your set up!!!!! If you are thinking about anything else then you need to either get another rifle or get closer bottom line… [/QUOTE]
