338 RCM
« on: January 25, 2009, 04:27:43 PM »
Anyone have one yet?  Like the idea about a 200gr bullet doing 2850 outa a short action rifle.  Always wanted a 338 just not a win mag.  Don't like recoil.  Anyway just wondering.

I don't know about the 338 RCM but as soon as they come out with the 300RCM with no sights I am ordering one.

if I was a ruger guy I would get one, they appear to be very good calibers. I havent heard anything about in the field performance yet but i am sure they are good.

I would bet that it will have the same recoil as the win mag, but it will be a lighter gun so it will have more recoil. If you dont like the recoil I would go with the .338 federal. :twocents:

It's not the equal of a 338winmag or even a 325wsm.  Prolly hit a little harder than an -06.
