I know..... I just could not help it! Well, I buy Noslers in bulk when I can. Keeps the variety down. 210s and 250s cover pretty much all my needs.

I am a 338 fan as well. I own 2 338 win mags and 2 340 wbys. this season I am mixing it up a bit and going with the new 340 wby I had built on an Encore platform.
I will be bringing along the 375 H&H Encore as well
(for those heavy days)
Both these rifles weigh under 8 lbs with 25" and 26" barrels. I put pro hunter Limbsaver buttstocks on them and it helps with the recoil and cut the packing weight.
I am going to try .338 225 gr.Accubonds @2900 this year being a long time 210 gr.Partition user.
260 gr. partitions @2800 from the 375.
I agree the recoil is something you have to learn to enjoy.

225TTSX's are deadly as well. And ACCURATE like nothing I have tried yet in my rifles. Yeah, recoil is an aquired taste, or affliction
