In my last question I was asking about the .300 Weatherby a friend of mine ( and maybe a few posts ) suggested that maybe a .338 Win Mag would suit my needs better. I have looked at the .338 win mag recoil charts ( for my boy ) and seen that it kicks similar overall. This rifle is more for my son ( to grow into ) than for me. But right now it is more for me. If I choose the .38 Win Mag I will get a Savage 111 Trophy Hunter XP and handload and make reduced recoil handloads for my son. Which would be a better rifle for using all over the world ? I would not handload for the .300 Weatherby ( if that's what I get ) for awhile after I get it ( 1-3 years later ). The .338 Win Mag I would handload for right away.
BTW, could anyone share reliable reduced recoil load data for either cartridges ?
