[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 1994935, member: 95344"] It would be good to know what the rifle and load was. I'm not recoil sensitive, been using a 30-06 for 30 years now. And I shot ultra mags and standard mags regularly. But one of the worst recoiling rifles was a older Savage 110, and I love Savages. So the suggestion on Sims Lab recoil pad is a good one. I've had one of my Featherweight for at least twenty years. I may need to get a new one, but hot 180 gr loads in a 7.5 lb rifle is fine with it. It's not so fun with the factory pad. IMR 4064 is a fine powder for 30-06. But I think I'd still try H4895 as per Hodgdon's directions. I've loaded some accurate loads with it in both the 06 and the 308 Win. I'd confirm their directions of starting loads as low as 60% of max loads, but with it and your 150 gr bullet it shouldn't be hard to find a easy kicking load. Lastly I agree with those who give accolades for you helping out this young man. Tough times right now, I can't imagine what it would be like with the passing of his Dad. [/QUOTE]
