Well Bolt. I think its too light. Reason being that I used this cartridge once with and 1873 to harvest a whitetail doe. Oh yeah, I killed her alright but not with the first shot. I really don't know how many shots I took at her while on a dead run (first shot was standing) but she finally did stop after about 100 yard run, stand for a few seconds then fall over. And she wasn't overly big either. But my uncle commented that I "sounded like John Wayne down there shootin a bunch of indians".
I should have known it was too light a round when I could hear the bullets hitting the target at 50 yds when I sighted her in.
Oh BTW, this isn't the right forum to post this.
