I love this caliber and gun, I think you will really like it ColoradoV, past few years this gun has killed 1 bull elk, 2 Muley bucks, 5 antelope and a coyote. I don't even reach for my big guns anymore.
I had never been around one until my wife got one from her family and I have agree with you as it has put down 1 big bull, 1 good buck, and a cow elk in the past couple of years. All have gone maybe a total combined 30 yds. We shoot either 120 gr nosler partitions or 115 barnes tsx bullets the partitions made short work of her bull this year.
