Well........
The ballistics are nearly identical to a 30 M-1 Carbine. Not bad, but not all that impressive.

I think I'll stick with my 44 magnums and my 454 Casull as well as my 357 magnums.

I have killed enough game with all these to know how well they work, and using a lighter bullet going faster seem to be an answer for a non-existent question.
I use 187 Gr bullets at 1375 FPS from my 357s
I use 320 grain bullets at 1265 from my 4" 44 and the same load goes 1320 from my 6.5" 44
I use 370 grain bullets at 1575 from my 454 Casull.
So far I have killed 37 head of game from deer, elk, buffalo and bear with my revolvers and 7 more deer my 45 Autos. I have also killed 4 deer with a S&W 45ACP M-25 Mountain Gun (revolver) using 45 Auto-Rim brass and 265 gr flat nose cast bullets at 1000 FPS. Quite effective.
In addition to these wild animals, killed about 15 cattle and horses with revolvers.

In my opinion a light 30 cal bullet is not going to preform as well. Why would I say that?
I owned a US 30 Carbine when I was young, and so I have some experience (8 years) with 100-115 gr. 30 cal bullet at 2000 FPS and I know what they will do.
Again I say, "not bad, but not all that impressive"
