So it really depends on the species hunted.
+1 more. I poured myself into analyzing the 338's, 358's, 9.3, and 375's and I concluded that it came down to the bullet construction. Most of the 358 bullets have American game in mind (deer, elk, modest size bear) and suited extremely well to those sizes of game. They will dump most of their energy into a shorter amount of tissue than the 9.3 and 375 bullets. There are exceptions, but spend some time looking at the SD's of most bullets in the 358 and 9.3 calibers and it will be obvious.
