A common feature of these European "new" cartridges is the attempt to have a wide range of bullet weights and uses. Probably partly due the number of guns Euro hunters are often limited too by law. The 8.5x63mm (.338) is another example where bullets weight from 160 grs to 250 grs (?).

It is not just the Europeans that have a wide range of bullets, the Americans do the same with many of their cartridges, the 338 Win Mag for instance has an even bigger range than 8.5x63. For this reason many rifles are now available with a choice of twist rates.
