For years it was my only "big game" hunting rifle.....Model 64 my father bought in 1956. Very limited bullet selection but more than adequate for 150 yd. shots at deer. Back 'in the day' I used mine for elk hunting here in CO.....this was before elk got to be alot tougher and more bullet resilient ...like they are now. It worked quite well but is seldom recognized as a suitable round any longer.
Excellent candidate for cast bullets too...............
