I get your point but that is a futile attempt to make the CM into something it is not. As good a cartridge as it may be, you have placed a lightweight target cartridge in a middleweight hunting class and terminal effects will show that rather quickly.
It stands to reason that if you want to deliver a heavier payload you can expect some additional recoil and if recoil is a concern, as it appears to be, sticking to the lightweights makes sense .. but your quarry has to be chosen accordingly. As to trajectories, they can easily be compensated for.
