As others have said, there's a lot to like about the cartridge. About the only drawbacks are expense and the fact that most rifles so chambered tend to be on the heavy side. Mine is a custom Pre-64 Model 70 with a laminate stock, 27.5 inch barrel, and a Conquest 4.5-14x50 up top. At just under 11lbs it only gets used when I'm sitting and hunting over bean fields. It's definitely not a mountain rifle! I'm running the 100gr TTSX and it hits deer like lightning. One of my all time favorites.
