BH 209 is about the hardest kicking powder in my book. That said, my elk load is 90-95 grains. The way around the recoil at the bench is using a good recoil pad. SIMS is the best I have found. That said, even with that, if I shoot more than 10 times, my neck pays the price. So I use a lead sled. HOWEVER, don't put any weight on it, just the sled weight only. I busted a wooden stock on a rifle with weight!
