By your screen name you must be a John Wayne fan. I am a like minded hunter. I think many small bore aficianendos just entering the mid bore group make the mistake of chasing the highest fps they can obtain not realizing that is not the mid-bores realm. They make big holes in and out and give a large shock. They don't destroy a lot of meat and generally leave a short blood trail. All without the sharp recoil of magnums cartridges.I even practice on woodchuck and chipmunk with them!
