It's not about the kick. It's about hitting PRECISELY what you are aiming at. Most people never realize precision or a rifle's full potential.
You shoot a .338 at 100 yards and I'll be aiming and hitting where your bullet impacted. Many here can do likewise... but most likely NOT with another magnum caliber,... most likely with a .17, .204, .222, .223, .243, 6mm, etc. It's easier to remained focused over a long period of time when you are not rocked by recoil, concussion and sound.
