Better metallurgy means barrel life is not an issue like it was in the past. If you hand load. expense is no longer an issue. If people are gonna argue you don't need the power, then why not apply that nagging bitchiness to fast cars and motorbikes, I mean, why don't we all drive a Prius or step thru scooters?
My personal preference is the plain old 308 Winchester and I'm considering going to 7mm08, but for the guys that shoot the 300s and 338 magnums I'm all for that too. One day I might just get me a 338RUM just for the gongs.

For those that think a magnum is just for a pissing competition go hunting in NSW national parks and see how long it is before you are wearing handcuffs as it is absolutely illegal to take a headshot and the animal welfare act is very clear about required energy for humanely dispatching feral animals 4500 ftlbs is the minimum required for aisian buff so anyone bragging about using a old 303 may want to discontinue this as is prosecutable
BTW hydrostatic shock is not achieved unless the projectile impacts at above 2600 fps!
