The felt recoil you experienced dannyb is a potential problem as you know. If its feeling awkward shooting in those controlled conditions, it can be a real problem in the field when you’re trying to...

Greetings flock, IMR4064 and Varget are two different powders and you should not use the data from one for the other. I have tested the two side by side and in limited loads found IMR4064 a little...
