taken to extreme the wee doughnuts of trail boss can tame pretty much anything down to fun and managable levels without a lot of effort.
there is no reason a fella (or felless) cant have mild loads for most of the time and some superduperGaryCooper loads for the occasions they might be needed...big angry animal or longer shot are the only two that really justify the added pain LOL

If you talk to knowledgeable Drivers they all mention that they prefer to drive a “Slow Car Fast” rather than a “ Fast Car Slow “
I don’t like owning or using something that is constantly being “ Reined in “ the whole time .

Secondly , my requirements now don’t include the need for a “ Big Banger “ and truth be told probably never did .

Thirdly , the advancement in modern Projectile/Cartridge/Barrels/Optics/Powders etc etc design has resulted in performance from what were traditionally considered “ Pip Squeak “ rounds that can’t and shouldn’t be compared to what they were doing 25 years ago .

Finally as I said in my initial post “ I’m a Big Girls Blouse “

PS - I have “ Down Loaded “ .308 / 243 / .223 for various reasons in the past . After much time and Feckery and hours spent in the reloading room , I decided to just buy the appropriate Caliber that I was trying to emulate.
