Not sure as I haven't actually shot it. If you are into reloading, your world is your oyster. Powder and projectile selection will dictate felt recoil. With my 44Mag hand loads they would rub...

Rattle can it. Ceracote is far far too expensive.

30-30 is good to 150m or so, probably 200+m with the new pointed projectiles that are safe in tube mags (though my rifle doesn't seem to like them). The non-tube mag options like the BLR give a lot...

Also I would recommend going to a peep rear sight or even a decent quality reflex type red dot. They really make levers quicker and easier to shoot. Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk

I love the 44 mag , great range of projectiles and weights . Good variety of factory ammo and very effective on anything with a pulse.
