Question... Is it normal for a guide to require "at least a 300 WM"? The two guides I know would prefer the hunter have a 30-06 that he is comfortable with, rather than a magnum that the hunter can't shoot well. Both prefer at least a 30-06.
I've spoken to guides who's minimum caliber was 338 mag and they really preferred the 375. I have been on 3 grizzly hunts, two with a 35 Whelen and one with a 375 Ruger. Perfectly comfortable carrying either one.
