I've shot several 300s including the WBY, Win, and H&H. I felt all were pleasant to shoot. Not like a 243 is pleasant, but not much more than a 30-06. My 338 without scope weights 7.5 lbs on my scale. Since shoulder surgery and more age(Maybe) I find the .338 with hotloaded 250s unpleasant to shoot. More of a sharp kick than a shove.
