[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 2288362, member: 93895"] In my old 300 win mag, I shot a 180 gr aprx 3200fps. I shoot a 180 in a 7mm STW aprx 3200 fps. While the recoil impulse is just a little different, perceived recoil is pretty much the same. In the 30 cal rifles, a 208gr was very noticable compared to a 230gr. Stepping up from a 230 to a 245 was noticable. My educated guess is that dropping to a 250gr in the 338 would be enough for you to be content with it's recoil. [/QUOTE]
