Welcome to the illness, eh . . . I mean "club". As mentioned, you give up nothing in effectiveness by staying in the 1150 - 1165 fps range. And, it's so much easier on the gun's wood (and your shoulder), primarily at the stock head.

With the shorter chambered Sauer I'd either make an attempt to get ahold of some 2 1/2" lower pressure loads or get some B & P Comp One loads. They are 2 3/4" but are much lower pressure than most over the counter stuff. Shouldn't be any problem for it to digest if it's tight and on face.


May God bless America and those who defend her.
