.338 Holds more energy as well, it's a slightly larger round with more powder behind it.

300wm is a pretty ancient round that happens to have good ballistics

Yes, and the felt recoil even in a 20lb rifle is downright vicious

300wm is gonna be a cheaper gun and ammo

The 338 Lapua shoots larger diameter and heavier bullets that are generally more aerodynamic than the bullets the 300 Win Mag uses. The two cartridges have a similar trajectory at normal hunting ranges, but typical 338 Lapua loads have 30-40% more muzzle energy. The 338 Lapua has nearly twice as much recoil energy though.
