Well dustin i can tell you. I started using this round for few reasons. 1-Where i hunt most shots stay under 200 yds and it is more than capable of handling business at that range. 2-It has a very easy to handle recoil and my kids absolutely love it (has way less kick than the .243 they used to use). My 6 year old boy shoots his and does really well. 3-I am an avid reloader and being able to convert a caliber that i already use is a big plus for me.

So i will say that if you are looking into it you cant go wrong IMHO.
