Each year I harvest at least 3 deer between myself and my wife. Plus Elk and moose. We have our shop set up for butchering and have a small co-op between friends for butchering harvested animals taken within the group. Our biggest year we butchered 21 different big game animals over the course of the season. I have considerable experience in all aspects of harvesting. Magnums generally produce larger amounts of shot up meat compared to non magnums when shots are less than 400 yds. Of course bullet construction has a lot to play in this as well as loaded velocity. Your mileage might vary but my experience has been well proven year over year. Inside of 4-500 yds a magnum has no advantage over a std cartridge shooting a moderate weight bullet at moderate velocities.

I respect your opinion but I don't hear anything similar about the 280 and there's not a massive difference. 100 fps in most cases. I don't see a difference between my 270 , 7mm, and 338 to be honest and to tell the truth the biggest carnage I've seen has been from my Creedmoor shooting 140s.
Partitions hold together pretty reasonably imo. Ballistic tips maybe not as well but I've never used them so can't say for sure.
Stumped on why a 300wm would perform any more surgically.
