From my own experience here it is less than ideal for our buffalo at one end of the scale, and less than ideal for rabbits, hares and foxes at the other. Not much good for gamebirds or ducks either, come to that. It could therefore never really be all I need. However for game between those, like goats, pigs and our several species of deer, it does a great job. I've had at least one for the past 40 years, and a light little Browning in this chambering is one of my favourite hunting rifles.
