Some on here can forget that not everyone is a long range shooter and dials every shot.
At the ranges you mention a middle weight projectile going faster will flatten your trajectory a bit making point and shoot type hunting a lot easier.
It is not until ranges get longer that the heavyweights have any significant advantage.
