I know a guy with that barrel, we have seen him take whitetail, mule deer, and antelope out to 200+ yards with one shot. Just don't try to shoot beyond your own effective range.  :tup:

I have this round in model 94 winchester and it is deadly, but a man needs to know his limitatations.

All of the above is true.  I've taken a Muley with mine, using 139 grain hornady btsps.  Just make your shots count.  I like win 748, CCI mag primers, and 3030 brass necked down and fire formed.   Quite accurate too!

I've shot that exact setup, excellent round and really good out the T/C.  You done good  :tup:
My father in law had one, he's since passed on and I don't know where it went off too. 

I'd love to shoot it again.
