.338 win mag isn't needed unless you plan to take big game at long ranges.
Even a .270 Winchester loaded with the right bullet can carry over 1000ft/lbs of energy out past 900yards with the right load. You can easily have loads that will stay supersonic past 1000 yards with high BC bullets.
For long range, anything between 6.5mm and 7mm can reach out to 1000yards easily with VLD bullets.
