Finn Aagaard said something to the effect that "shot placement was 90% of killing power"
When you have a guy complaining that a cartridge is a POS past 200 yards, it is pretty indicative of his skills as a shooter and a hunter, rather than the cartridge.
Much like the old "The .308/30-06 is worthless for elk/big mule deer, I shot an elk right through the heart and it ran off and I never recovered it" stories.
Followed by "You need a such and such Magnum to kill big animals".
