Just curious how is the recoil? What would you compare it to?

Thanks!

Hello 1cdog,

Thanks for the reply.

Recoil with this light bullet is nearly the same as a 7 pound 30-06 shooting a 165g bullet.

I have tried 60 to 68 grains of 3031 with the 400 but 4350 was better.

Hello HalfaDouble,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, it is a relatively light load at under 1800 fps. This is intended to be my "fun" double for medium game. With heavier bullets at higher velocities, the groups un-cross. I have over a dozen other "BIG" doubles (up to and including a 700NE) for serious work.
