i have and had both.
my favorite l/w rifle is a 300 wsm laminated classic now residing in a mikey edge l/w stock.
i am running 150 gr., tsx's at about 3300 fps, and it's a pleasure to shoot.
i had a ruger s.s. in a plastic stock, then into a pretty wood stock.
it plain old kicked !
shooting at an elk in the timber one year, i had to bend at the waist to get a shot off to my hard left, when i got busted sneaking thru the big timber.
guess i hit a limb or ? but there was more blood in the snow from the scope cut where i stood than the nothing i found where she was standing !!
after a few years of abuse, i sold it to a member here, with a recoil warning.
i'll take my 2 300wsm's over any 1 338wm any day.
