I've gotta say, "I love 'em both"! And I own and use both as well. I actually have 2 .338's (would like to have another 1 or 2, too) but only 1 .375. The .338's are both bolt actions; Sako and Winchester, the H&H is a Ruger #1. The bolt actions get carried more on hunting trips and the single shot gets the nod as a back up for grizzly/ moose/ elk and as "bear spray" when packing meat. All 3 have their purpose, all 3 get used... would probably lean slightly towards a .338, but it would depend on the rifle and its intended purpose.
Nothing wrong with a .30 mag, but I agree with the logic that if you already own and are going larger than a 7 mil (or .30-06 etc.) then go bigger. If you can put your thumb in the hole, even better!!
