.338 Win Mag 300 grain loads

I started wandering the net looking for any 300 grain hunting loads for my .338. Lots of folks are loading Lapua Mags or RUM with 300 match bullets, but the only hunting load I could find was on the Woodleigh website. They have their 300 grain RNSP at 2,450 fps using H4350. I also found a statement that the older 300 grain commercial loads were not very accurate. Now, if I feel the need to have my shoulder tenderized and my fillings adjusted, I am happy to launch 250 grain Sierra Gamekings at 2,700. They're accurate and imagine carry enough punch even for the big bears. But I'm curious about the bigger bullets. Any experiences out there?
