squeeze tight and keep your elbows loose.

it won't be that bad.

barrel length?

AKSpraya · 07-03-2009, 08:26 PM

7inch barrel

Shoot, that thing'll be a pussycat!

Hold on tight and keep your elbows straight like DevJames said or you'll be peeling your eyebrows off your scope. If defensive-type cartirdges are all you are used to shooting, you'll think it kicks horribly. Once you get the technique down, you won't think its all that bad.

nah, I can shoot a 4" M29 with 240's all day long.

my Super Blackhawk however isn't as pleasant...the SAA grip design doesn't bode well with the heavy bucking rounds.

I still wanna shoot a .500 Linebaugh conversion.

I bout some hornaday lever revolution ammo 225grn bullet what a good round for hunting whitetail?

DevJames · 07-03-2009, 09:08 PM

eh, any decent hollowpoint would be ok for white tail. They're pretty soft.
