Hello Loyd
I actually was surprised as Recoil was not all that bad using the Larger Smooth Target grips it came with. I dropped 9.2 Grains of Hodgens "Tight group" with a CCI Magnum Primer's and a tightly crimped 250 Grain Remington Copper Jacketed solid core bullet. The Load was Very Obnoxious as far as Blast went, but it was not heavy on recoil at all. This Load showed much Promise and I will expand on getting the groups to shrink a bit. That Tight group Powder goes a very Long way's in such small grain requirements, it is about the cheapest, cleanest most versatile Powder I have found so far and have had super results in .32 H&R Magnum, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, .41 Magnum, .44 Magnum and .45 Colt . This One Lone Powder can and will handle all these loads well. Regards, Hammerdown
