I totally agree @Flyblowen , I certainly wont be straying from the lighter jacketed Tipped match kings for all my game hunting /pest control.
The heavier magnum cartridges have the advantage of 300- 400 fps more velocity and a bigger energy dump which is going to help on the those longer shots but Id be willing to bet those same 400y shots would go a lot different when shooting these bullets through medium power cartridges such as the humble .308, 243, 708 or any of the 6.5mm short action offerings.
I have many (very graphic) pics of goats and deer taken with the 130gr TMK that show just how much more effective a slightly more frangable bullet is on our lightweight game. There's certainly no penciling pass throughs.. the tmks remove goats heads out to about 250y
