Basicly cost of equipment and ammo. When hunting you are limited as to number of rounds in the rifle and it doesn't do anything my 270 or 30-06 can't. Where's the advantage? If it takes you 5 or 10 rounds to kill that deer, you shouldn't be hunting in the first place and why would you want to carry around all that extra weight?
