Small point on your chart... A 338-06 and a Whelen with the same weight bullet and velocity will not be running the same pressures...
As someone that has seen hundreds upon hundreds of wild brown/grizzly bears, shot two Kodiak bears of my own, been there when quite a few more were shot and been bluff-charged numerous times I am happier to see 30-06 in someone's hands than a 338 they are afraid of. I have seen more folks afraid of their 338 than any other cartridge.
YMMV
