Default magnum vs 308 or 270 or 30-06

last week went moose hunting two cow moose where killed that day(around 600 pounds they looked like twins) first moose was shot with 7mm wsm 150 gr powerpoints the second was shot with 308 win 150 gr hornady sst both around 60 yard shots.RESULTS...7mm wsm took 3 shoots placed perfect right behind the sholder all three bullets had very small enter holes and no exit holes....second moose 308 win one shoothit back a little took out 3 ribs (leavin hole u could put your fist in) and passed right throught moose just behind shoulder leaving small exit,,,Im a big 308 fan and know its capabilities also seen my unkle take out a massive moose(60 inch over 1200 pounds dressed)with one shot with 308 winover 300 yards ....anyways this is my opion but what happened to the good old calibers like 308,270,30-06 why is everyone jumpin into magmun calibers...most people that buy them cant even shoot the well they make the jump or flinch at the shoot resulting in poor shot placment
