I expect it would be too much of a good thing.

LRH is NOT done with an 8 pound rifle. Bring the weight up to 12 to 15 + pounds and the recoil would get your attention but would not hurt you too bad. :shock:
ETA: Come on Bob, give Ray Weller a 300 grainer!

My LRH rifle (338AX) will weigh around 10 lbs scoped and my 338-378 was about the same, I believe either of these rounds qualify for LRH or some long range shooting. Can't know any reason to need a 12-15+ lb rifle in either of these calibers to shoot a 300 grain bullet. Seems just right for a 300 grain bullet. Now a 338 AM with a 300 grain bullets would be a different story, don't think 12-15 would be enough weight.

I think we agree for the most part. A 338 Lapua, Ultra or EDGE rifle firing a 300g bullet at 3000-3200 fps SHOULD not be a carry rifle. It WOULD kick the snot out of most including me (I'm a wuss). Higher rifle weight, a rest or bench and a break are the easiest ways to tame it. BTW, I consider LR as 600+ yards. YMMV.
