I have shot a few foxes and a fair number of roos with ours. It kills extremely well. Not as emphatically as our 22-250 but still quite amazing.

I wouldn't hesitate to shoot a feral dog with it, even using the 32 gn load or any of the weight projectiles I load. If hit well, the dog would be dead.

I would feel pretty confident out to 250 yards; someone a bit steadier should be capable of a killing shot out to over 300 yards.

An amazingly accurate calibre. The only hassle is the rate of twist in mine won't stabilize the 45 or 50 gn projectiles.
