I read a short item in some old issue of some old gun magazine that Gene Autry favored the 32/20 as his personal six shooter.
I know, when he sang it was a 44, but there you have it.

Re: How can a .338 Win Mag generate more energy than 300 WM

The base of the 338 bullet has more area than the 30 caliber, more area for those Pounds Per Square Inch to push on. Given equal chamber pressures more energy will be transferred to the larger bullet.
