I've also used a .338 Win with the 300 gr. Woodleigh on Asiatic Buffalo, and just as Ray states, I noticed no difference at at between it and my beloved 9.3x62. That said, I simply prefer the 9.3 or .375.

I've always liked the .416s and .458s, but I also prefer lighter weapons that a fella can pack around all day and use on a variety of game (perhaps at slightly longer ranges). Thus, I don't use the .40+ calibers much these days. Hell, an 8 1/2 pound .458 is just a bit too much fun for this ol'Montanan! laugh
