For the G2 or in a lever gun. More power than the Raptor, witch I am a big fan of too. I tuck a cow elk at a HHC with the 257 Raptor. Like Gary always says “shot placement is everything “ I own a bunch of quarter bore guns, but the 256 Falcon is my favorite. A great all around cartridge. Like a rimed 257 Robert’s.
