This is a fine, fast fps cartridge that would certainly be a fine medium game selection. However, it is not a "popular" cartridge down this way at all. In fact, I know of no one that I hunt with or ever have hunted with that uses this cartridge.

About the only draw back I can think of is that factory ammo is relatively expensive and could be difficult to find in a pinch.

I have one in a Remington 700. Shoots good but shells are way too overpriced.

The only thing keeping me from buying one is the price/availability of ammunition. I'm ordering a weatherby 25-06 due to these reasons instead.

You'll love the 25-06 and in MHO it's one of the most underestimated of all the calibers out there as to what it can do.
