[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 3099031, member: 109862"] UPDATE! I shot the beast this evening….and am a little underwhelmed to be honest. I was hoping for more punishment 🤪. That muzzle brake and recoil pad sure do work….i honestly didn’t find this punishing at all. Also need to move to a faster burning powder as it was not possible to fit enough H380 in the case to hit pressure. 480 grain woodleigh weldcores, started at 88 grains h380 and went all to way up to 100 grains very heavily compressed. So heavily compressed the case must have bulged as it wasn’t possible to chamber the 100 grain load. The 99 grain load chambered though, and was doing 2350 fps or so. Very mild pressure. Very easy extraction and bolt lift, very rounded edges on the primer and around the firing pin dent. We can go harder than this for sure. Now I know I need to buy the 550 grain woodleighs I saw somewhere….like I actually CRAVE recoil more than what this sweetheart of a rifle has hit me with so far. HIT ME LIKE YOU MEAN TO HURT ME!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪🤪🥴🥴🥴🥴 [/QUOTE]
