Here is my bag with the .338 Win Mag:
1 grizzly bear
1 bull moose
5 bull elk
2 mule deer
1 whitetail
2 kudu
3 gemsbok
1 zebra
2 hartebeest (lichtenstein's and red)
1 wildebeest
1 warthog
1 impala
I am sure I missing something, and I am sure others have shot more, but there is quite a variety there in terms of size.
I started out shooting a 7mm Rem and consequently have the most experience with that, but the .338 really shines. In no case was anything lacking, although I did lose a kudu once (killed 2, lost 1), my only loss ever. It simply was not a good shot; kudu are certainly not as tough as elk, and everyone of them were pole-axed. The .338 isn't a sexy laser beam, but it dispatches game without requiring a fat long barrel, an oversized scope, or a need to worry about barrel life.
