[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 2301587, member: 5219"] Some thoughts: No big deal on the case stretching to fit the chamber. If you resize minimally the cases should stop stretching. As for a case getting longer with time it is something we all deal with. Trimming doesn't have to happen very often as the end of a typical factory chamber is way out there. Many cases will be worn out with loose primer pockets before the case is too long to hit the end of the chamber. If you don't have a chamber length gauge get one and know the distance to the end of your chamber. [MEDIA=youtube]JKnXJxaAw2U[/MEDIA] You said you are using a 120 gr bullet. Didn't say which one. IMO the Nosler ballistic tip is a great bullet to use for big game. It has a great track record, is stout, will kill well and almost always exits. No point in making an improved version if your wife is having issues with recoil now. Sounds like she is having issues dealing with recoil while shooting off the bench. I would suggest you raise the gun height on the bench and if you could a bench that allows standing would be even better. Another aide: get a slip on pad, or even a towel between the recoil pad and her shoulder. Here are a few pads: [URL unfurl="true"]https://limbsaver.com/products/airtech-slip-on-recoil-pad[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.buffaloarms.com/pq-shooter-s-friend-recoil-pad-rol924.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
