Default RE: Shooting Heavy Conicals

My load last season was a 410 gr great plains and 90 gr of 777. I started out testing that bullet with 70 gr of 777 and slowly worked my way up to 90 gr. Recoil was very tolerable and accuracy was great. I've got a buddy that shoots the 405 gr powerbelts with 110 gr. of 777. It's fairly stout but managable. Recoil tolerance is an individual thing. What's painful to one person is tolerable to another. Those big 500+ gr bullets will probably provide a good thumping on both ends though.
