A good friend of mine owns a Kimber in .325. I own a Win. 70 in .338. We have both shot each other's guns and both feel that the recoil from the .338 is just a touch stouter than the .325. As has been said previously, this felt recoil is SO subjective to things as different bullet weights, velocities, stock design, recoil pads, etc. that it can be hard to give a definitive answer that will satisfy everyone. In my mind, if you can handle the recoil effectively with one, you will be able to handle it with the other.
