They kill and disable large game animals a bit better than the .308 and smaller calibers, given equal quality bullets, when killing/disabling quicker has its advantages. And larger calibers even more so than the 338s. I prefer 338s for brown bears more so than smaller calibers.
Also used them on large Alaskan bull moose for many years. Though never had one of them come after me.
