Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments.

I've not shot any other loads other than the 535's. That's enough for right now. Waiting on dies and other reloading supplies, so I've been shooting the ammunition that Duane had loaded up for it. There are a few 600 grain Barnes solids in there, I believe (loud-n-boomer at AR loaded these) they were chrono'ed around 2200 fps, but I could be wrong. Haven't shot any of those yet, nor do I intend to for awhile.

The recoil in this rifle isn't enough to bruise you with a light coat on, but when a 5'10" 160 lb small-framed fella like myself touches one off, it is "noticeable".

I have to put in a plug for Duane. We met at the ACGG show this year and even though I was a nobody, he treated me as family. He invited my wife and I to sit at his table during the Awards Banquet and was a great host. That means a lot to an Alaskan boy that traveled so far and had no connection to anyone there, but we never felt like a 5th wheel. Forrest Bruch, Dave Bieber, and the rest of Duane's crew treated us very well, also. I can't say enough about any of them. I can't say enough about the craftsmanship of the rifle either. I'm not a gunmaker, but have owned enough firearms to really appreciate something so special. Everytime I pick it up, I'm amazed at the quality and care that went into building it.
