SLOWER bullets---
1. take longer to get to the game, allowing the game to move some, or allowing another animal to interrupt/deflect the bullet.
2. take longer to get there IF they get there. (edit to correct)
3. do NOT travel as FLAT.
4. do NOT hit as hard.
Hi-Vel accomplishes a few things that SLOW bullets can not.
These things ARE why I strive for the best velocity WITH the best accuracy I can GET.

Roy Weatherby would have agreed with all that.
Bighorn -
That is true but a couple of points -
I have never owned 'any' Weatherby of any cal/cart.
I am not interested in any of the small Bees.
IMO - the 7 Bee is too SIMILAR to the 7 RM.
IF the 300 Win will not kill any game>> the 300 Bee can not. You need even more.
I own an 8 mm RM and don't need it, so I certainly don't need any larger Bee.
As to this thread -
I don't see nor ever have seen any disadvantage to Hi Vel, AS LONG AS your bullet can operate at the speed.
1 last point and don't want to be offensive.
There are folks, shooters, hunters, who don't want/like/or are afraid of REcoil.
"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
There are NO free lunches.
