There are four of us that regularly hunt big game together.
I shoot a .300 Win. Of the other 3, one shoots a .300 WSM, one a .300 Weatherby and the other a .300 RUM.
In the field there is virtually no difference.
If I had to start over I'd stick with the .300 Win. Mag just because of the large selection of factory ammo and I like to shoot 200 grain bullets. Hard to find in WSM.
I agree that nobody "needs" a magnum. But then, nobody "needs" a 4 WD pickup with a 300 HP engine either.
You didn't say what you plan on using your rifle for. Any animals in specific ?
