338 RCM might come in a shorter package but you'll find 338 Win Mag ammo and components everywhere. I never thought of a 24 inch barreled sporter as being too long for most of my hunting. I also believe longer cartridges in relation to their fatness tend to feed better than short-fats.
Maybe not everywhere I know cause even in Houston 338WM is not everywhere and when it is it is a very limited selection.
My main concern is how long will the cartridges around.
Remember the 450 Marlin and the 480 Ruger?
Excellent cartridges, but dropped.
