That's a nice cartridge, bigger than the .243 and I think the .25-06 and the .25 WSSM.

It's pretty popular for hunting plains game in Africa due to it's high velocities, so it would serve you well anytime you end up going on a Pronghorn or Mule Deer hunt.

It would work great on Whitetail at normal ranges for sure as well.


It is very important that you practise with the rifle as much as you possibly can, so I would also suggest handloading if you haven't already taken it up.
