The bigger calibers have heavy recoil, low magazine capacity, are expensive to shoot, and are only useful at fairly short range.

All depends on how you set them up and what those terms mean to you.
My .450 BM will hold 1 MOA out to 300 yards. I can hit a 10" steel plate at 500 meters with almost boring regularity. It has a Syrac adjustable gas block turned down quite a bit which helps with the recoil as well. I have 5, 9, 12 and 15 round magazines for it. I am running at about $32/100 rounds.
Moving to the 300AAC, the recoil is less, accuracy is great, capacity is the same as in .223 and I am running at about $24/100 rounds. Still hitting the 500m 10" plate 1 for 1.
