PS: I shot some grease grooved 1400 grain hollow-point bullets with 9-drams of Swiss 1-1/2 and that was positively brutal! It felt like the butt was being driven 2" deep into my shoulder and I could only stand to shoot four of those from a standing position. What you see in those videos is positively mild compared to those things!
The Swiss 1,5F is a rocket buster.
My hardest load was a full 10dram to a 985grain bullet. Enough really. I have a 1100grain bullet I havenīt yet used.....maybe its about time.
Just think when Sir Samuel Baker mentiones 12dram loads to an eightbore....:-)
