Not one thing I can do with a 7mm Rem Mag I can't also do with a 7x57 or a 280. I've had all three!

Sure, and the 308 can do anything a 300 Win Mag can do too. But the magnums have the advantage at longer ranges, and I'm not just talking 600+ either. If you look at ballistics the magnums are dropping a lot less as close as 3-400 yards and basically add 2-400 yards of usable killing range over the non magnum counterparts.
Don't get me wrong, I have a 308 and a 7mm08 and love them greatly but I also have a few 7mmRM and a 300 WSM and they have their place, especially with heavier bullets and game.
