Default Appropriate N.A. large game bullet grain?

I'm looking to get a little input as to my new gun purchase. My two top choices for caliber right now are the 300 win mag and 300 wsm. im trying to get varying opinions before i buy to help me in my purchase. ive noticed that the 300 win mag has factory loads generally topping out w/ a 200 grain bullet while the 300 wsm is around 180 grain. from what i understand seating a deeper bullet in the short magnum takes excessive powder space and affects performance. that being said, id like to know what people think as far as the lethality and use of the 180 on the larger north american game animals...thanks
