My one experience with a 340 Weatherby really impressed me with it's recoil! You guys must be some tough SOB"s!
I've been a 30-06 guy my whole life, I am definetly in uncharted waters for myself stepping up to a 340 Bee. But part of my reason for getting into a medium bore was less an absolute 'need' for the capabilities of a fast .338 but more from a desire of the personal challenge of teaching myself to shoot well (with a lot of practice) a heavier recoiling rifle.
