While I don't own either calibers (300 H&H or 338 Win Mag) I do own a 300 Win Mag which is a fine caliber for most large game in NA. I do however reload for the venerable .338 Win Mag for a hunting buddy. From my limited experience, the 338 Win Mag seems to readily accept the (heavy for caliber) 250 grain bullets, and it would probably be my pick. If I didn't already own a 9.3x62 I would probably own a 338 Win Mag. The recoil from my 300 Win Mag, my buddy's 338 Win Mag and my 9.3x62 (with 286 grain bullets) are fairly stout but, very manageable. That said, any caliber followed by H&H has to be considered a classic. Flip a coin!
