A great cartridge that can handle any North American land animal and most of what one finds on other continents too.
Factory rounds with 405's are pleasant to shoot and move at about 1200+ fps. Hop the same slug up to 1,700+ with reloads, and it will get ones attention when it goes off. Can't wait to bag an elk and maybe a bison with mine. A neat piece of history too.
I have a 1895 Marlin guide gun with a scout scope. Extremely easy to pack around, but I think things are out of the park for me past about 250 yds unless I did some serious science.
