Have killed a LOT of big game with the .338 Winchester Magnum, and with broadside lung shots have yet to notice a meaningful increase in DRTs on over small caliber cartridges--and I've kept careful notes on every big game I and my companions have taken for decades, The exception is with bullets lighter cup-and-core bullets.
Which is why I eventually came to the conclusion that various .338s DRT most often when their bullets are put through an animal's shoulders--which is also true of any other caliber with bullets capable of doing the same thing.
