I’ve killed nice bulls with both. Both will get the job done in fine fashion, assuming good bullet placement. But the 338, as expected, will be a little more “dramatic”. My bulls I’ve shot with my 300 were taken with 180 grain Partitions, 180 grain TBBC’s and 200 grain AccuBonds. I have taken elk with my 338 using 210 grain Partitions and 225 grain North Forks. That last load with NF’s...just flat impressive. All have been DRT’s from 150 yards out to 360 yards. It just packs a wallop, subjectively speaking.


You only live once, but...if you do it right, once is enough.
