[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 2209362, member: 65338"] Yeah the bigger 338s are great but they definitely need some weight to be tamed. I tried 3 different muzzle brakes on my 338-375 Ruger over the years trying to wrangle in the recoil after putting a 22 oz carbon fiber AG Composites CAT 700 stock on it. Even with a heavier Remington Sendero contour barrel, I just never could tame it enough where it was comfortable to shoot. Finally changed out the ultralight CF stock for a 4.5 lb full aluminum skeleton stock (B&C Medalist I think?). Changed brakes again, but this time went with a 5 port rear clamshell design. Also changed over to ADG brass (necked up 300 PRC) Now with the added weight on the stock, the rifle is a dream to shoot and I am already seeing the benefits on paper as well. [/QUOTE]
