(Notes) This is a very mild load I developed for my Granddaughter to use on an upcoming javelina hunt in Arizona. It is plenty of power for this purpose as we can usually get within 50 yards with no problem. Some times point blank when calling. This load shoots to point of aim at 50 yards when sighted in for full power 123 grain SST loads at 200 yards. That's handy as no sight adjustments are required. Recoil and report are similar to a .22 magnum.
