There is an old addage that goes something like this:
Beware the one gun man, he probably knows how to use it.
To me that means you know the capabilities of the round AND YOURSELF.
Exactly when I want a real challenge I bow hunt or use my traditional hawken style 50 call black powder rifle
If I want to limit myself to about 125 to 150 yards then I use one of my traditional lever actions
When hunting moose up north it is my 338 winmag otherwise it will be my 308 win, and to be honest my 308 sees a lot of duty up north because it packs so easily.
However I already have two 308's so if I buy a new rifle I want something different and in synthetic.
A 300 wsm is a lot cheaper to shoot than a 338, it will do anything a 308 will do and really doesn't give up much to the 338 winmag in terms of performance
Afterall bullet placement is important and shooting at a deer with a 458 winmag won't help if you can't hit anything with it
