The cartridge is quite capable on light game, but is no giant-killer. It does best with soft-points rather than the ex-mil FMJ ammo, which is best kept for target practice. The military ball ammunition can be spectacular on smaller quarry, but is unpredictable and will sometimes pass through without tumbling, resulting in a wounded animal.

My eldest daughter took her first boar with this cartridge, chambered in a Lee Enfield of my own conversion many years ago.
