Flat with moderate recoil. To me this is ++++



I wonder if I can get 3150 out of it using their load data for RL 26. Probably not I suspect. I'm waiting for my Mesa to arrive. I'll try the 130 Scirocco and the 130 Accubond since I have them on hand. Probably buy a box of the ELD-X for break in.


The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!
