I have a friend that has literally hunted the world with a couple of 300 Win Mags shooting mostly 180gr Winchester Failsafes. A couple of years ago he switched to his custom 338 Win Mag and his reason I found interesting. He shoots allot and said that he had started to develop a flinch in the field and couldn't figure out why.He finally traced it to muzzle blast and said that the muzzle blast from his 24" tubed 338 was less obnoxious than his 300 with the same barrel length. The flinch went away after the switch.
