on my calibers 5 or 6 years ago, maybe longer. I started with the Raptors based on the 204 case, then the Banshees based on the 22 Hornet case, then all the Falcon and Firecat cartridges, those based on the 30-30 case. My 257 Raptor is still my favorite of the smaller calibers.
My Cape Buffalo hunt in Africa a year ago using my 450 GNR with a 500 grain bullet was the first really big cartridge I have used hunting in a good while. I figured the 257 Raptor wouldn't quite put a Cape Buffalo down.
