I like 140 Ballistic tips and 869 in mine. I don’t think the recoil is anymore than a 7 Rem mag. I would go with Accubonds if I hunted anything heavier than pigs and Texas Whitetail. I think I’m loading a grain under max.

My hunting bud likes 140 NABs in his 26 Nos.
Not running as fast as the mentioned monos, but tissue damage about the same.
Very accurate with 869.
