Not necessarily as much depends on the individual loads used and the fit/style of the rifles in question.

But, continuing with your line of thought, a .338WM should make accuracy still harder to achieve. The groups shoot with my .338 are not noticeably larger than those I shoot with my 7mm RM and the longest shot and kill I've ever made, an elk at 487 lasered yards, was with the .338.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
