Power / Energy # [excellent] ... Caliber / Size of Bullet # [poor] ........ Flatness of Trajectory # [xxxxx] ....... Grouping at 500 yards and 1000 yards # [good] ........ Cost and Availability of Ammunition This is considered one of the dangerous African game cartridges. This type of cartridge typically has a very large caliber and excessive energy at 100 yards for North American game. This type of cartridge also has a trajectory that begins to decay significantly after 200 yards and therefore is not suitable for long distance (500+ yard) shooting.     [[Category:Sports and Recreation]] [[Category:Firearms]]
