Can't argue with that logic Matt and is why I'm still shooting a magnum.
I created this post, though, because things have changed quite a bit in last 10 years with rangefinders and adjustable turrets. For me, I was shooting a magnum partly or mostly for the flatter trajectory. With the new gear, trajectory isn't as important as once was, if you can range and dial in accordingly.
Even the non-mags have the energy to kill bucks at extended yardages- like 4-600 yards- with good shot placement. Many of the non mags I've been around are more accurate all things being equal and easier to shoot than unbraked magnums (I don't like muzzle breaks).
However, I like you, am still shooting a magnum and will continue to do so I'm sure.
