if you think about it the numbers we are talking about are not much different than the original 45LC or even 44-40 loads and both killed alot of men and game early on. I prefer bigger guns but I also hunt mostly Elk and Mule deer where shots are longer and even the blacktail hunting I do the potential for shooting across a canyon is always there. I wouldn't use the spcl for elk and especially not Roosevelts where they can go over 1200lbs but in brush for blacktails I'd give it a try.
