Have taken lots of game all over North America and Africa with both calibers. Some in Asia too. They are both great. Use 180 or 200 grain in 300 Win Mag and 250 in 338. Cannot tell much difference in killing power on similar animals, but guess if staring down my sights at dangerous game like big cats or bears, would prefer the 338. Having said that, find myself reaching most often for the 300. A little less recoil and flatter shooting.
