RE: Ruger No 1 .375 H&H or HOWA 1500 .338?
the ammo isn't much more expensive than the .338, at my supply store a box of .270 Gr Federal soft points for the .375 cost 25.00, while the 225 Gr .338 is 23.00

Magnum Man, what kind of question is this supposed to be? If expense isn't an issue, hell get them both! And as for the reply about living in Alaska, if you can't make do with a 338 a 375 will not help much. The only way a 338 would be inadiquate is if you can't hit with it, and if someone can't shoot a 338 then a 375 is out of the question.

I've never shot the .338 though I've always wanted one. We do have a .375 a friend of ours bought and can't shoot because he is afraid of the recoil. It is the same exact type you are asking about laminated stock an stainless barrel. If you can handle the recoil it is a excellent gun. Though you get a headache after several shots from it.

While there is nothing wrong with the Howa, and .338 Win. is a good round, I'd opt for the .375 No. 1 because I prefer the Ruger No.1 (or any decent single-shot) over a bolt-action.
