I've had a 338 Win Mag for over 20 years. It'll open your eyes with 250 grain handloads, but the past 10 years or so I've fed it nothing but 200 grain Accubonds and the recoil is there but not crazy. I don't sit at the range for long sessions with it, but usually put a few rounds down the pipe before heading out for Elk in the fall. By far my favourite round for Moose and Elk.
