True,
the hot loads(high end marlin type loads) I made up for my new barrel that came in were quite impressive.
They jolted me in this little gun-(speaking of weight)-a lot harder than I expected even with 300 grainers at 2150fps.
I'm not gonna list the load-but it's nice.
It would work fine in a double like the kodiak, but for this small-light gun, it is a kicker.
I can handle it, but I would not give it to my girlfriend, if I had a girlfriend.
Warning-wear more than a tee-shirt with that kind of load.
I'm not new to big rifles, at all actually, having shot heavy doubles, and using a .375 for years, but for the weight of this gun, and the combination-its downright unpleasant for someone not expecting it.
Although once knowing whats coming-its better.
The light factory loads are about like 22's compared.
