Although it shoots 117g fusions really well. Shot a doe and a hog with it back in early December. Dang near gutted the hog and the doe was bang flop. Quarter bores hit like Thors Hammer.

I had some dramatic kills back in those days to say the least. I wish the need would arise to take her out of the mothballs tomorrow...

I've only shot one critter with it and it was impressive to say the least. I shot a good buck off-hand at about 40 yds walking straight at me with a 100 gn spitzer factory load. The impact drove him backwards off his feet. The mess we found when we field dressed him was indescribable. Not quite the first shot I was hoping for with the Wby, but one I'll never forget.
