[QUOTE="Brad Quarnberg, post: 1599836, member: 107866"] I own a 325WSM in the original Coyote Light and can tell you unequivocally it doesn’t kick like a mule In fact, shortly after I bought it I was sighting it in with a friend of mind who was sighting in his 338. His gun weighed about the same as mine and after him complaining about recoil I had him shoot my 325. He bought one later in the week and sold his 338 I find, personally speaking, the recoils of the WSMs to be less than their full size opposites. I own a 270WSM Winchester classic, a 300WSM Coyote Outback, a 300WSM Browning Hells Canyon Long Range and the above mentioned 325WSM Coyote Light. I had and sold all my 300 Win mags to include a Browning A Bolt Boss, a Remi from 700 and Weather Vanguard with a break. I reload and shoot a lot and have no problems putting 1-2 boxes of full power loads through any of my WSMs which wasn’t the case with the full size Magnums even though they wore breaks and quality pads. To be fair, I have several friends that also shoot and love their 338s but every one of them will tell you they don’t shoot them much outside of hunting and typically don’t shoot off the bench except to check zero - because of the recoil. Everyone experiences recoil different and many physical factors of a particular gun like recoil, stock profile etc. play a role in how that recoil transmits to the shooter. If recoil bothers you, mitigate its effects by doing what’s been suggested here already: different pad, muzzle break, an better stock or maybe a different caliber. [/QUOTE]
