I hate to go lighter but slower seems to be the sweet spot. Does anybody see any problems with going lighter. My other thought is maybe trying 5744 for more case density but I don't have a clue where to start. Any thoughts?????? The Carcano action while being bad mouthed as being weak has shown itself to be pretty strong, but I don't want to be the test case.
