Actually, Dave, the ballistics are more like a moderate .308. That's still more than enough for most all big game you'll run across in N. America, and it's still well-thought-of in Canada as a carribou, elk, and moose cartridge in the 180 and 220 g loads. I have personally carried one for elk in CO and not felt undergunned.
