I stated in an earlier post that I owned one of each of these calibers. Yes, I do feel the 338WM a tad more when on the bench. But firing from the shoulder, I can discern very little difference in recoil. My 338WM is a Remington 700 customized with a Lilja barrel, Jewell trigger, Borden Rimrock stock and has a S&B 3X12X50 scope w/#9 reticle. I have found this rig to be super accurate with 225 gr. Northforks, a pleasure to shoot and extremely deadly on elk. I like my 325WSM a lot, but I just think I set for a long time with the 338WM.
