I've used the stuff for the last couple of years in my .30-06. I got it originally for my daughter to shoot so that she would be able to handle my rifle and I wouldn't have to buy another one just for her (since we'd be in the treestand together). The recoil claims live up to the marketing - the recoil is definitely about 1/2 of regular loads. On the other hand, I did not find that with my rifle the "don't have to re-zero" claim was valid, but I didn't do a lot of shooting to really say one way or the other. I just zeroed the rifle with the managed recoil loads and then shot a few regular Corelokts to see where they'd land and they were a bit high and right, not as close as that nice little picture on the box. Probably good enough for 100 yards or less, but I wouldn't expect them to hit near point=of-aim past that.

I will probably continue to use the loads for regular hunting just because I don't have a need to shoot more than 50 yards or so where my treestand is now. Really no need to beat myself up if I don't have to do so. The loads are supposed to be good out to 200 yards and on the land where I now hunt, I can't imagine making shots much more than that, especially since I don't regularly practice longer shots.

I'd like to try the Federal reduced recoil loads, but haven't found them until lately. May give those a try just to see what they're like.
