Hell Yes!

I'd take my PC Hunter on that trip in a hot second.
To answer Mike's question, I'd just call hornady (ask for a few boxes of ammunition while I was at it...) then follow-up on whatever targets of opportunity the desert would provide.
Should be a few cougar in the neighborhood to test the load on...

Have fun with that thing FancyPants!
You're welcome to drag that little revolver up here whenever you need target practice while on the road to Reno!
Drop the WR off at my place for some 'exercise' while you're out in Dark Country...

Cheers
