[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 2284527, member: 8873"] You should definitely notice recoil reduction stepping down to 250 grain bullets in your .338 Edge. There is also a difference in perceived recoil between the two cartridges. When I had my .338 Edge a buddy had a very similar rifle (weight and stock) in .300 RUM. The .338 felt more like a shove, the .300 seemed sharper. If you look at the ft-lbs of recoil between the two then the .338 should feel worse, but I enjoyed shooting my .338 more. Today I have a .338 RUM and .300 RUM barrel for the same action, the .300 is a factory spotter and the .338 is slightly heavier with a good brake. The .338 is way more manageable with 300 grain bullets, compared to the .300 shooting 180s. But then again the .338 has a good brake on it.😁 [/QUOTE]
