Frail, pussy or both? 
This is what I don't think many people understand about magnum rifles. It's not that you can absorb the recoil and walk away with all your teeth, it's that you can absorb the recoil and make a 300-500+ yd shot.
It's kind of a catch 22. To be good enough to utilize a "magnum" you have to shoot a lot. That gets tough on your wallet as well as your shoulder.

As long as I'm hunting whitetail in LA or MS I'll never need any more than my .270. Magnums are unnecessary for whitetail inside of 300 yds IMO. I don't think I've ever hunted somewhere where a 300 yd shot was even available (or at least feasible)
