Energy of 1,037 foot-pounds for a 350 grain bullet at 1155 fps.

Pretty nice considering the milder recoil and nearly 100% weight retention. I still think this is one of the best bullets for a "standard twist" 45cal using lighter loads.

I would agree GM, especially for deer size game.
Add, if you cast yourself - they cost less than a dime.
