Thank God! some guys who don't shoot 243s! I have owned several 338s and they have always done the job. And the recoil is not bad with lighter bullets. My current 340 is a Gale McMillian custom serial # is like 072 based on a mdl 700 action. I have a Brake on it wish I didn't. the guys in camp say "we knew that was you, Your rifle goes BOOM G--Damit!" the elk hate it! never had to shoot one twice or for that matter had to track one shot with a 338. I shoot 210 partition over 4350 right at 3150 + or minus with the 340. I have never had a lousy shooter in a .338 or 340. T/C,McMillian,tikka,sako,weatherby All shot really well. Jeff I am glas to hear that XRC shoots so well. I was eyeballin a xrc dangerous game rifle in .375 the other day. priced right but it may be gone as it's elbow to elbow at the gun shops right now.
