With the right load,it's power is right in line with a 357 Mag 6". Not overpowered but ok for the <50yd shots that I usually take on surprised hogs and smaller NW Fla. deer. It is also a great truck gun or farm/ranch gun.
I had a Universal as a kid and killed quite a few critters with it.
At the age of 14,I walked into a hardware store,plunked down my $60.,and walked out with it. A couple of years later I used to take it to high school with me in my VW bug,so that I could hunt on the way home from school. One day the football coach saw it on the back seat as I was parking my car. He simply said,"make sure to keep your car locked on school property".
WOW . . . how times have changed,huh. ---- SAWMAN
