I voted for the .338, and to answer your question: the recoil is manageable in an 8lb rifle, but it is fast and 20 rounds can start to fatigue a person. That being said a 225gr bullet at 2800fps is where I personally have started to see any difference in on game performance that is noticeably better than the 130-180gr crowd out of the .270-300 cartridges. It would be my "one gun for the world" pick. Yes, even for elephants and such.
