I'm wanting to add a larger caliber to go along with my .270 Win. to use for a possible elk trip and to STOMP the local hog population. I've been really looking at Rugers left hand stainless/laminate model. It just really seems to fit me well.
I've only shot a .300 Winny a few times over the years and have never shot the .338 Winny. I'm looking for opinions in the difference in recoil. I've heard folks go on and on about how brutal the .338 Win. is....and I've also heard many who say the .338 Win. was more pleasant to shoot than the .300 Win. because it was more of a "push" than a "jab".
Any info on the recoil between the 2 calibers (out of the same gun of course) would be appreciated.
Just FYI. I'm not what I would call "recoil sensitive". I shoot .30-06 and 7mm. Rem. Mag. quite a bit with no trouble.

Thanks in advance
