I think Roy Weatherby was catering for a certain market, like people who wanted the most and didn't really care about the cost etc, like buying a Pontiac Trans Am ,Corvette etc ,back then when it was ''in'' and fashionable to go on an African Safari, a lot of people who weren't really hunters perse, wanted to jump on the band wagon, and hence for that reason I suppose, a lot of hunters thought they were for wankers and show offs . A bit like today where people who were never into bikes suddenly want a Harley[and then fall off] or who were never mountain climbers, want to climb Mt Everest[and fall off] .I have always liked the German ones,which I think were the best . I suppose they have lost some of their appeal being more affordable ,like Harley making cheaper bikes ,not such a big deal anymore and novelty having worn off .I don't think there is any point looking for more powerful rounds that the Weatherby Magnums ,I think that's the practical peak for magnums.
