Welp, missed me first one! [Frown] I guess the 444 recoils a little more offhand than off the bench!

Hey Mike come on down and join the fun. [Big Grin] I am sorry for you guys in the gun restricted countries, it is a non stop battle to keep our gun rights.

That 444 with a 240gr. should be somewhere in the neibourhood of 2200 or so. It has been a long time though and I could be mis-remembering. Isn't the attitude of our wonderful Canuckistan govt. priceless? derF
