The numbers that I posted are with a 270 grain bullet in the 375 and a 250 grain in the 338. The 338 velocity is 2700 while the 375 is 2690.

I can't say that I notice much difference in felt recoil although the 375 that I have used is about a pound heavier than the 338's that I had at the same time. The 375 H&H is just about at the end of my tolerance now that the shoulder is shot.

The .338 Win. Mag., or the .325 WSM. Good luck.

If the case is that you just want to add another, keep the .30-06 for when hunting Low and the .338 when hunting High!
