    I have had 2 of them and rate it as a cartridge for smaller game up to fallow. I experienced a number of delayed kills on big reds and lost a huge one. Ultimately went to .284 Win for a catch all NZ cartridge.

    My last one liked 100 and 115 Nosler BTs, 117 Hornady SSTs and 100 TTSX. 100 BTs caused huge meat damage at anything under 200m but much less with the 115s.

    Factory twists are too slow for anything past 120 grains.

    Enjoy yours.
