RE: 338 win mag vs 375 H&H
The only 375 H&H I fired much was a Model 70 Safari model. That rifle was very Heavy and the felt recoil was not that bad. I had about three 338 Mags. At the time I had them the recoil while not pleasant was not punishing either. If I were to shoot one now with the bad shoulder, it would likely be a different story. A 300 win Mag is now way to much for the shoulder. That is without a good recoil pad that I made to go in my shooting vest. That tames it down well.
