I have used one (rifle) to kill two deer and several hogs (one in the 300-pound range).

All have been dropped with one shot; one deer required a second finishing shot.

IMHO with correct ammo it is a great 300-yard medium game round. Would not use for anything bigger than cow elk.

Again, my opinion is it was WAY oversold as a wonder round/laser beam/death ray and greatly disappointed folks when it did not deliver that level of performance. lots of ammo out there to choose from.
