IMO it is the combination of stock fit AND a faux recoil pad that makes it hurt so much.
Even at that I was able to shoot -1” groups w/225 gr bullets and IMR 4350.

My buddy’s 338 shot really well too, that is until the flinch kicked in. I’m sure a lot of shooters love their 338 WMs. I just never got to the point that I could handle heavy recoil. That’s why I mainly shoot a 7mm-08 now. It’ll do all I need it to do.


If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
