mike,

Do you personally find the difference in the recoil of a 1150 fps load that much different than that of a 1250 load, or a 1350 fps load (200 fps maximum difference there)?

And did you not read where I said "I'm not claiming that the extra 1/8 oz. caused the improvement, just that it certainly has not hurt anything"? You seem to be reading into my post(s) a claim that upping the load helped, when I was simply stating that the increased load (and it's supposed greatly noticeable increase in recoil) did not hurt or hinder anything.

I just find it incredulous that there are that many shooters out there that worry over the difference in recoil of a load with maybe 10 more grains of propellant, or 1/8 oz. of shot. You stated that "every Superman succumbs eventually". I disagree with that blanket statement. I know sporting shooters that put 40,000 - 50,000 rounds of 1 1/8 oz. loads through their guns a year, and have for years, with no flinch problem or other associated problems. According to your statement, they all have their day coming I guess, eh? Flinches are in the books for Digweed, McGuire, Vine, etc., if they don't reduce those loads, and quickly, I guess? Kruger is very recoil sensitive, and shoots loads as light as he can get by with, and is now shooting a release trigger, but Krugers' problem is not everybody's.


May God bless America and those who defend her.
