With the right bullet the 338 should be enough gun. I have a 338 wildcat 250 grain Nosler Partitions @ 3000fps. The velocity makes it a very good long range caliber.

If you are going to a heavier caliber I would suggest a 416 Remington or Rigby you will get a 40 caliber hole with more velocity to reach out to 300 yards. But all of these large 40 plus calibers are going to drop like a rock at long ranges.
