RE: recoil question
You didn' t say what BULLET weight you are shooting with the 120 grains of Pyro. That is the MAIN component in recoil!! If you shoot one of those HP rifle rounds, I suspect the bullet will be lighter, but the velocity about twice that of the Pyro load. Your total foot-pounds of recoil energy could conceivably be comparable, but it will happen a lot FASTER! (Higher recoil velocity). Consequently, it could SEEM to be more when it really isn' t. I used to find the recoil of a 200-grain load in a .30/' 06 to be less bothersome than recoil from a fast 150-grain load!
