[QUOTE="BigGrizz, post: 1338140, member: 85529"] I'm with Zen. It's more of a mid-range cartridge for deer-sized game. I've taken a muley buck at 420-ish with a 62gr Core-Lokt. One shot and he was down. I'm sure anything below that in size would be easily dispatched. Bullet selection has a lot to do with cartridge performance, and I think a few guys here have already covered that. Would I use it again for deer? Yes, but I usually carry a tag for elk, deer, bear, and cats at the same time. That causes me to hedge for certain types of performance. If I don't kill a deer in October, then I'll likely take the AR or my trusty old Ruger .308 in November to pop one. [/QUOTE]
