It’s a 9 pounder, and the recoil gets your attention! I’m certainly not good for more than 20 to 30 (30 is pushing it) rounds at a sitting with full house loads. I’d prefer to keep the round count under 10…..as the shoulder is pretty sore the next day! It’s shot very little with full house loads…..that’s what light loads in it and small bore rifles are for! memtb
That's not a great recipe for developing LR proficiency with the load you'll use for LR hunting.
Forget the arbitrary 2000 ft-lbs number, and use any 6mm+ cartridge/bullet that will retain enough velocity to expand when it hits flesh, and you're GTG. Most importantly, choose one that you can shoot to the best of your capability all afternoon without sub-consciously "bracing for impact" as you squeeze the trigger.
