I have a Ruger American in 350L, bought it when it first came out because I wanted to see what it would do. Its got the shock value with the right ammo and placement just like any other cartridge. It limits me to 200 yards and on one property it shines. I shot a couple doe with it a couple years ago and at 135 yards it looked like a seen from a horor movie with all the blood loss and deer dead not far away. At 180 it was a through one shoulder and both lungs and dropped 15 feet away. I dont "need" it, but I like it enough to keep it. Mine is scoped with a 6x36 leupold and handles like a dream.
