Every weapon has limitations. One quick one is barrel life, especially if you are into 220 gr at high velocity, barrel can go in less than 500 rounds.

Second one, especially again with fast heavy loads is limitation on how much you can shoot in a setting. I know, "I'm recoil resistant", BS, recoil effects all, just when.

Third, Belted magnums have consistency problems due to the belt being used for head spacing. This is one of the reasons so many went to 6.5 in long range matches and moved away from 300 Win Mag, that and 2 above.

There are more, but a good shooter will always "investigate" and find out on his own.
