Factory rounds are 200 grains at less than 2400fps
Factory Hornady FTX advertise 2550fps, and 2900+ ft/#'s...

That puts it just shy of .30-06 performance with 200gr bullets...

Rem. Core-Lokt 250gr:

Ballistics Information:
Muzzle Velocity: 2189 fps
Muzzle Energy: 2659 ft. lbs

Hodgdon LVR powder under their 200gr will give you 2500fps...

Not saying that it is 'better' than an 06 or 12ga, just that it is no slouch for a lever...
