Indeed! Very similar ballistics to the load used by TR
during his African safari.
I have taken 150lb whitetails with it using 165gr Nosler BTs - limiting myself to easy broadside shots, they work fine.

Gordon's Reloading Tool is a great (and free) modeling tool; in some ways much better than Quickload. Gordon was the German developer but sadly died in 2021 IIRC. No further development since, and this is the downside; it lacks a lot of the various powders that are available in QL. I use them both and compare results often. If anyone is interested, here is where to find information and a download link.

There is also a Gordon's Reloading Channel on Youtube - surprised it is still there.
