Why do so many people not like the 338 Lapua?

[QUOTE="degreen, post: 1056325, member: 88909"] I bought a Savage 111 lrh in 338 Lapua about 2 years ago, and after finding out the hard way that sierra Gamekings do not like to be shot in my rifle I switched to Bergers. Since then I have enjoyed shooting it without having to knock stuck brass out of the chamber with a cleaning rod. I haven't had the chance to shoot anything but steel with it yet, but am looking forward to seeing how it does on antelope, deer, and elk. My Savage 111 actually weighs less than my Springfield chambered in 30-338 win when both rifles are bare. Loaded the Lapua is barely heavier. Both rifles have 26" barrels. The idea that the Lapua has extreme recoil is a bunch of crap. Mine has less recoil than my 30-338 win. using 180 grain bullets at about 3000 fps. [/QUOTE]
