If you hunt somewhere that most shots are up close and personal then I would say go for it. My daughter uses a 1894 marlin in .357 and never has any trouble with it. In a wheel gun I would say the it is at the lower end of the power level. But keep em at 75 and do your part then life is good. I love it when I talk to the power nuts that hunt with 7mm Rem mags for whitetail , that end up with deer tag stew while me and the girls are eating venison taken with a .44 mag or less.
