I have a shorter barreled custom 325 8lb that I use for my horseback hunts. It rides real nice in the scabbard and packs a great punch. Killed lots of elk with the 200gr Can't seem to get rid of mine, just love it for some reason.
It's one of those cartridges that when you compare to all the 30's and 338's out there today it just doesn't stack up. But in the right set up it is a great hunting gun that packs a punch and will do anything you need it to until about 600-700 yards. Fall flat because of lack of bullets and faster twists barrels
