That gun will work just fine. My friend hunts with that exact same rifle and he shoots a .54 caliber 300 grREAL conical out of it with 80 grains of Pyrodex RS and has killed a deer every year with the thing. Like he said, why change what I am doing when it always works. He bought the rifle because of the ease of use.

I think you will have great luck with it and good knock down.
