Magnum rifles definitely have their place. However, I've never had a huge need for them. The only two rifles I own that can be considered a magnum is the .300 H&H and a .375 Ruger. I've killed big game with both, but nothing a smaller cartridge wouldn't have done just as well on.

I've got a 300 H&H and, if loaded properly, you can get the heavier 200gn/220gn projectiles into Weatherby .300 range ... And certainly it's more than competitive with the .300 Win Mag for AK uses, whether for hunting or protection in the boonies.
But up there a .308 would be anemic. A 30-06 with the 200gn/220gn loads would be the minimum.
