If your only shooting 50 rounds a year at the range and at game then maybe a larger cartridge is for you. Not for someone that shoots hundreds of rounds a year.
I shoot several hundred rounds of high powered rifle rounds every year.
Good for you. You're certainly not average. My shoulder doesn't handle 40 rounds of 338 or 300 win mag every session and I go1-2 timesa week.
It would be irresponsible of me to use a weapon that I can't be 100% reliable with on a daily basis.
