Recoil for 338 WM is not to bad in my opinion. I loaded 250 gr Hawks and NP bullets to 2,625 fps in lieu of 2,725 fps and it was fairly easy on the shoulder. I had a Wby VG (1980) when they used really nice wood on the VG in 300 WM and it gave quite a jolt. Sold it to a farmer in Nebraska, bought a 7mm RM and never missed the 300 WM.
