That is all I use in my sidelocks and even percussion inlines. But you need to use #11 Mag caps. With a sidelock you need to tap the 3f powder over under the nipple in really cold weather.
I shoot 90 grains of t7-3f in my LRH with a 460 grain lead Bull Shop, i also use a shot card under the bulet to keep the T7 from melting the bottom of the bullet. It is a sharp recoil but something less that the 300 win mag and mybe comparable to a Tikka Light 270 win.
