No one feels recoil on a hunting shot.

Then there's the simple matter of just reducing the charge. That 110 grain load I shot probably had a velocity somewhere around 1475-1500 fps. Dropping the charge to 95 grains should produce something like 1400-1425 fps. The lower charge would have a greater drop at longer ranges, but would not lack anything in killing power.

I'd go with a Pachmyer slip on pad if I were you. I put one on my TC Scout Carbine some years back because any charge over 80 gr. would beat the hell out of ya. Why would you wanna start out with 110 gr. anyway?
