I own and hunt with both. For bullets up to 200 grains I like the 300 Win, for bullets over 200 I like the 338. You dont specify what game animals you intend to hunt in your post. If your looking for a dedicted elk rifle I would go with the 338. If your looking for an all around big game rifle, the 300 is the way to go
