Some of the guys are loading much heavier charges than I am, but I'm more interested in accuracy down range with lighter loads. The primers after firing are still completely rounded and from that I know I'm probably not in the sweet spot as far as full development of the gas column. Thing kicks like a mule even with the lighter charges. I can load the 300 grain or 330 grain plated bullets and recoil is much less. All my swaged and cast bullets are very hard, and require more effort to push down the bore than the soft plated bullets do. My last trip to the range with it was a couple of weeks ago, one of my friends has a hundred yard range on his farm that we use. I went through 28 rounds of it then, with him shooting two. He didn't want any more than those two. I suspect these swaged 45acp jackets are going to generate more recoil. This beast will do a number on anything we find in Oklahoma. I'm anxious to see if it will turn a coyote wrong side out... Jim</p></blockquote><p></p>
