BSA, I suppose I was working at answering the question in a non threatening or offensive way.
I'll attempt to answer the question in a more direct way.
The 270 and 30/06 have killed more elk than the 300 weatherby has dreamed of. If you gave 50 folks a 300 weatherby and 50 folks a 270/30/06 the 270-30/06 crowd would be more successful every time.
Magnums are comprised of hype, recoil, and muzzle blast that is far removed from any real world gain.
The reality is recoil and muzzle blast are the exact components that seem to contribute to poor shot placement according to bench rest and competition shooter also backed up and confirmed by a large number of hunters whom do more than read books and charts.
