And more isn't better. We aren't arguing 223 is sufficient in wounding we are saying it's good at it. Can't be deader than dead. In fact comparing 223 with the projectiles talked about in this thread wounding is better than a huge portion of conventional loads in 308 etc.
Also more comes at a cost. A Semi truck tows more that your landcruiser does that make it better for its purpose or has towing ability gone too far at the cost of day to day driving, fuel efficiency, offroadability etc. Maxing out one trait comes at the cost of another. Maxing a trait out with big magnums doesn't give a whole lot of killing ability inside of 95% of hunting shots.
