I loaded up some 180gr j-words with 56gr IMR4064 to try it and see if they would extract ok after my escapade with the resized 30-06 where I broke the extractor and had to replace it. I used factory 35Whelen brass this time.
I tried a few shots and then my sweetie asked to try it. 5ft 2" and 110lbs. She tried a round and i asked her what she thought. "well, not bad but I wouldn't want to target practice with it" and she squeezed off another one. She said with the PAST pad I bought her it would not be bad at all.
