I used one back in seventies and early 80's.I had both Rem Mag and Weatherby mag. They both killed elk. I usually used the 175 gr Sierra, but at times the 169 gr.
This was back in my younger days. I had the wrong impression that the magnum could do something more than a 308 or .06 couldn't and thought I needed one to kill those tough elk with.
I don't do any long range shooting and to tell the truth I didn't see any difference in killing ability or such that see in my present day 30-06. Plus I burn less powder and have less recoil.
