I had one as well. They kick hard! Because they are so light. I put a .375 barrel on it - 27 inches long. Sent it to JD Jones to have it chambered to .375 JDJ. The long barrel adds weight and makes it about as long as a bolt rifle with a 22" barrel. My testing with 250 Sierras got to 2650 fps. Have been working up cast boolit loads for it recently. Aiming for 250 gr. at 2,000 fps.
