I should say that I hand load and already own a 375 ruger and a couple 308's. I am thinking of adding a lightweight 300 wsm now.
Don't get me wrong, I admire the 338 win mag a lot and if I had to pick one for all of my hunting that might be it. It might be the most 'Alaskan' cartridge if you ask me. But the 30 and 375 calibers are so good at what they do and so well matched in the rifles they are used in. A 300 wsm isn't too much for a ultralight rifle and if I am going to tote around 8-9 lb rifle for coastal bears or moose in wet areas like Mainer talked about, I may as well throw a 375 bullet or more. By now, I can pretty much predict with good odds of what the shooting situation will be before I leave the house. But who knows, maybe I'll change my mind next week
