I have had great luck with both the 14" pistol and a 16" carbine in this caliber. Have collected several deer but last year I got 2 antelope-- out to 300 yards with the 16 " carbine. I use 140 gr. Nosler Partitions exclusively. They perform great, even at around 2100 FPS. I load 28.5 grains of 2230S powder. in both guns. (2230S is a surplus powder just a bit faster that AA-2230)

Good hunting! You have chosen a great caliber! I kinda wish that I had bought a 7-30 Lever Action when they wwere available! But--wishes last a long time!
