Heck I'd hunt the big bears with it if it was all I had (or the 6.5x55). Has served me very well with standard cup and core, heavy for caliber bullets (160gr.). Building a mannlicher in the caliber now that I suspect to do most things I need doing very well.

I'm a sub-300 yard guy, prefer under 200, really like under 100. Maybe that makes a difference in my results.
