I fully realize that accuracy is important, and if one bullet is better in that regard, then that's the best choice.
That said, many of the l/r hunters i know, most of whom are using larger capacity 338s than the Lapua, are using 250 gr bullets for hunting l/r.
The reason is the velocity advantage they have over the 300s. They also claim that due to the additional velocity, they see no advantage to using the 300 gr until the distance reaches the 1500 yd range.
