To be really honest I have both calibers and can tell you that is a bunch of Bullsh**. The 375 H&H definitely has more recoil and the light bullet for it is 235 gr while the light for the 338 is 200. Heavy in both is 300 I think and that 375 just pounds ya. Just thinking about that last night. I found over a 100 once fired 375 H&H cases I'm gonna sell as well as a bunch of 35 Whelen cases too. The 338 is more pleasant for me to shoot. The nicest of 'em all is the 35 Whelen. BTW both of my rifles are pre 64 Winchesters and the 375 is the heavy bbl'd one. The Whelen I have is a Dale Goens made 1909 Argentine Mauser action. Shoots sweet but is a little heavy for carrying. The most unpleasant gun I have is an old German Weatherby in 300 Weatherby Mag. Not that it recoils so much but the muzzle blast and recoil together are just nasty. The Mk V I just bought in 257 Weatherby is a really neat caliber. Sucker shoots too. Mule deers and Antelopes better watch out fer that un.
Now I gotta say one other thing though..if ya is shootin a cape buffalo er somethin with a nasty disposition...bet ya won't even feel that ol 375 go off.
