The high velocity, flat trajectory and high sectional density of the cartridge made it a perfect mountain hunting cartridge and through his writings, O'Connor helped place it as one of the most popular big game hunting cartridges worldwide, for medium sized game, up to date.

The original 27 g (410 gr) bullet has a sectional density of .338 and at a velocity of 700 m/s (2,300 ft/s) generated 6,375 J (4,702 ft⋅lbf). The energy generated by the cartridge was on par with that of .450 Nitro Express which, until the ban on the 11.6 mm (0.458 in) caliber in India and the Sudan in the early 1900s, had been the standard ...
