Had my Trapper up to deer camp a couple weeks ago. Didn't get a chance to draw blood with it but pulled it out before the opener for the guys to check out. Ran 100 rounds of coated hard cast 405gr at a bit over 1000fps through it splitting firewood, woulda been more but that's all I had loaded. Everyone's reaction was similar, a huge grin with the "pop....WACK!" and chunks of ash flying. Recoil and noise with the Hybrid screwed on is negligible and just plain fun. Loaded to it's max I'm sure it wouldn't be as pleasant but, while it's nice to have the capability, for me that's not what it's meant for. I have other rifles for that.
