That, is one of the best posts I have read here in a long time and my experience with the several .300 mags. and the dozen .338WM and six 9.3x62 rifles I have owned tends to mske me agree with the "kick" aspect of it.
I find my 9.3 and .338WM rifles to be very similar in felt recoil and my .375 H&H, owned seven since 1982, definitely boot me harder.
But, none of these are difficult to shoot small groups with or to use in the field, for overall BC conditions, I have found the .338WM-225 and 250-to be the best choice.
I am also a HUGE .270 and .280 fan and these do the business far beyond what one might expect, using good bullets.
I have never had the desire to shoot Grizzlies, but, have seen some killed and one was with a P-64 .270 many years ago. I also would not worry with one in hand loaded with 150 NPs and have used mine quite a lot in BC Grizzly country.
So, Brad, have you sold yet more rifles and left your usual .30-06 and .308Win. rigs for the siren song of JOC's favourite?
