I agree with you - I have shot kudu, pigs and deer with it and found it very effective. However, some authors do not like it for medium and large game even at relatively short bushveld distances. For example, Gregor Woods does not recommend it for this purpose in his book Rifles for Africa, I think mainly on velocity/energy grounds. I know dozens of people that use it for this purpose though.

Do any of you use it for elk or moose in North America? If so, what loads are you using?
