I'm pretty sure virtually everyone commenting here knows all that...we were mostly making jokes... grin.

It is without question one of my all-time favorite cartridges; I've owned up to three rifles chambered to it at one time; my current tang-safety 77 I've only had 25 years, so I know a little bit about it. It does kill a lot of game, at least... smile.
