Forgot - the longest 'carry' I ever did was 8 hours, just got stubborn with that one and it did require some recuperation. I shot a 130 pounder (dressed) a couple of years ago and couldn't get it...

I carried a 200 pounder once, knew it was too heavy as I could feel my sinews creaking - but it was only half a mile to the car and moderately flat. That was the Akatarawa's. I did carry 147 hind...

Get 2980fps using RL25 & Norma brass to drive 140 AMAX pills in my 6506ai. I suspect RL26 might be better but will stick with the RL25, it’s plenty quick. And save the 26 pixie dust for other rifles
