Bench shooting always kicks more than actual shooting from other positions but I never found it unbearable to the point that it affected my shot placement. A bit more sudden than the 375H&H but not unbearable as many others seem to think. I am 5'10 and 185 so I am no giant either. Does anyone agree with me? I am beginning to worry that there is something wrong with me because I do not have an issue with the 338.


I agree Mil. Here's a vid of me shooting my .340 Wby--225gr TTSX leaving the muzzle at 3,040 fps. It's just not much recoil to bother about.
