Crow, I don't know it matters much. Your #1 can do the job if you wish, or you can find something else to play with. Keep in mind that if you start loading heavy bullets with full charges you'll understand why "Thumper" is such a popular name for favorite guns. I found it helps keep arthritis at bay however.
Sometime back one of my buddies was shooting 500 gr paper patch from a Marlin Cowboy gun although with smokeless. Recoil was stout, precision was was stupid good. Lord knows that no man ever suffered from owning a Sharps.
