Power
Power is dependant on the practicalities of gun weight and recoil. Like most 3"+ 585 wildcats it will exceed 2,600 ft/s (790 m/s) with a 750gn bullet for near 11,400 ft·lbf (15,500 J) muzzle energy (roughly 4 times the power of 7.62 Nato).

Famous quotes containing the word power:
“Awareness of having better things to do with their lives is the secret to immunizing our children against false values—whether presented on television or in “real life.” The child who finds fulfillment in music or reading or cooking or swimming or writing or drawing is not as easily convinced that he needs recognition or power or some “high” to feel worthwhile.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
“If your friend has displeased you, you shall not sit down to consider it, for he has already lost all memory of the passage, and has doubled his power to serve you, and, ere you can rise up again, will burden you with blessings.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“What is genius—but the power of expressing a new individuality?”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
