I shot this model belonging to a friend with maxed-out handloads. Brutal.Simmer down wrote:I was trying out upper end loads for a Marlin lever action 45-70. I don't recall the powder but I used 405g soft tipped. Dead on with open sights at 50 yards but I actually feared detaching a retina or two and stopped at three shots. I only thought I knew recoil before that experience.

76Currently it's a Weatherby Mark V in .30-06, but with the weight and butt pad it's very manageable. Used to have a Ruger M77 that had a lot more "feeling."
I dearly love the state of Texas, but I consider that a harmless perversion on my part, and discuss it only with consenting adults. --Molly Ivins
