The .338 gives a greater percentage of emphatic kills .i.e. quicker deaths. Sometimes there isn't any difference, but the more game that's shot, shows a greater DRT figure for the .338. The .338 bullets were recovered from larger game as they go through both shoulders on medium size game. The thread is titled medium/large not medium. The .338 isn't loaded "hot" it is loaded fast at normal pressure.
