[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1382694, member: 41338"] 338 WM is an awesome caliber, if you can take the torture. Some extra padding for your shoulder at the range will be welcomed. I tend to think 225 grain bullets are the sweet spot for all around hunting. Recoil is manageable without a brake. 250's pound me pretty good and tend not to be as accurate, for me anyway. 1" Limbsaver recoil pad is your friend. I like the Barnes 225 TTSX in front of H-414. Ball powders are no longer fashionable. Well, not fashionable until you actually test and use them. It's hard to get enough powder into the 338 WM case so a good ball powder addresses that nicely. Another fella a while back raved about the Cutting Edge 225 gr. bullets. Said the extremely high BC would take you "way out there". I thought they were a bit to expensive for me but he swore by them.
