I hunt a lot with Savage 99's in 284 shooting 145 grain Speer btsp and 358 shooting 180 grain Barnes TTSX. I believe the 358 is the better hammer but I could argue the opposite just as well.

I certainly don't feel the need for "more" on most occasions but if I dial the RPM in like I want I'll have both hammers in one rifle.
