I'm happy with the recoil but want the wife to also be able to shoot at times. So need to try one of these lighter projectiles and maybe back the charge off a little.
    160gr SPBT gamekings loaded at 2800. Use them on everything. Accurate and at that velocity mild recoil. Kills game animals the old school way, an entrance and exit to bleed out and plenty of damage in between. Cheap and zero copper fouling in my 7mm saum barrel.
