More speed also means less drop further out than a rifle going slower with the same lead.
Nosler load data online disagrees. Real world performance could very well be different, but this is what I'm finding:

Max Loads of IMR4350 for a 250gr bullet:
338 Win Mag - 68.0gr - 2690fps - https://www.nosler.com/338-winchester-magnum
330 Dakota - 72.5gr - 2685fps - https://www.nosler.com/330-dakota
338 RUM - 79.0gr - 2871fps - https://www.nosler.com/338-remington-ultra-magnum
