After she got used to those I worked the charges and bullet weights up until she was shooting mid power 165's which she used to take a zebra. We just got back from Argentina where she took a blackbuck with 150TTSX's running at about 2800fps.
The gun fits her and has a good pad which I feel is at least as important as the amount of recoil.


I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.
