I suppose usefulness is defined by one's situation and desires for the most part.
I have two of the calibers listed. One is a 10mm G20 with an M6. Seems like the perfect house gun to me. Auto loader with the whack of a 41 mag.
The other is a CZ .204. I already had a .223, .22-250, and .25-06. The .204 lets you see the hits on critters. Low recoil and flat shooting. Doesn't heat the barrel like the .22-250.
Both of those filled a niche. The new crop of super mags are the ones I can't see. They do nothing that existing stuff won't, cost WAY more to shoot, are hard to find ammo for, and resale is squat.
Had a car stopped on our county road. Girl had hit a deer and broken both it's back legs. Guy stops and is going to put it down with a .25 acp. Walks up and shoots it point blank in the head four times. None penetrated. We ended up using a knife.
YMMV
