Fair comment @Tahr but i don't know if 300fps is "measly". Roughly the difference between a 7mm08 and 7WSM? or a 308 and a 300WSM? If it is economy you want then it would defiantly be a better option but then, like motorbikes for me, economy has never been a huge priority when choosing a cartridge. As I said, not knocking it, it just wouldn't be my choice for a dedicated deer rifle intended to shoot to 600m.
