This is not to say that there is no advantage to the high velocity Magnums. However these midrange calibers plain and simply have about all the range and accuracy that the average hunter can take advantage of. I have been an avid if not rabid hunter for 50 some years. I can count the times on one hand that I had to try a shot of over 400 yards at an animal. A ten or twelve inch kill zone on a big game animal is a very, very small target at 500 yards and beyond.
