Thank you, danno50! I’m sure I can handle the recoil, but when you’ve never shot a certain caliber, first several rounds will be a little tense until you know can feel and expect what’s coming when you squeeze the trigger. On the ammo, I shoot Hornady. There were only 4 options available and I didn’t think I needed a 230g bullet with .616BC for the area I’m in. I think the 200g will suit fine for the range and animal. We’ll see. Either way, I’m excited to get this thing to the range!
