Hyper velocity with many projectiles inside of 350 yards perform less admirably than ones launched at 308 Win velocities. The best attribute of the 308 Win is most bullets perform very well at 308 Win impact velocities. Deep penetration with excellent expansion and bullet weight retention are hallmarks of the 308 Win as well as ease of shooting and accuracy with just about anything you feed it.
I use to believe that mattered until a friend dropped a huge Bull Moose in his tracks at 50 yards with a ballistic tip from his 300 Mag. Now I believe that the power dump from the magnum makes up for the bullet not staying together.
