[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 186484, member: 8843"] I'm sure at some point sombody necked the 300H&H to 338 on their way to 375H&H. Most of the moder magnums got their start from the H&H cases but their were shortened and inproved , neck up and down and about everything else one can think of to basterdise a case. I woulden't bother with a regular H&H case , the brass gows to fast and an Ackley improved case with good brass will just about match it till the realy heavy bullets are used and with alot less powder. I'm not to sure how you figure that a 338H&H in a 9lb gun isin't gonna kick , I hunt with a guy that had a 338-06 Improved , his rig weighs in at around 9lbs scoped and it has a VERY noticable kick to it with no brake , 3-4 shots is all I want to shoot at one time and I'm not realy recoil sensitive. Shooting a 225gr bullet at 2500fps is gonna generate a fair amout of recoil no matter what the case. This same guy has a 340Wby which is a blownout and improved 300H&H case , in a 8.5 lb gun with no scope it flat out sucks to shoot ,it kicks like a mule , so figuring that the 338 H&H would be somwhere between the 338-06 and 340Wby I personaly feel that the recoil will be stout.
