[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 3068673, member: 5391"] 102 rounds went downrange today including 24 old Hornady 180 gr FMJ factory rounds and some of the Ram stuff that I had on hand. The recoil, while definitely noticeable, was not too bad although my right hand is feeling it as I type this. The Hogue monogrip helped in controlling the gun and was a major part of my staying on target. Of the rounds I fired today, the Hornady stuff seemed to have the heaviest recoil and the RAM was not far behind. There was some old hand loads that I also shot with a 155 grain bullet backed by a charge of 231 powder. I forget what the powder weight was, but I believe it put the SWC bullets out about 800-900 fps. That is a decent clip. Six rounds of that Federal Hydra-Shok also went through the 610 and I was actually surprised that their felt recoil was about like the RAM 10mm that I fired today While most would not find this gun ideal for CC (and I am among them) it would be quite suitable for carry in wilderness areas or for hunting game such as deer, or perhaps bear, and it has been suggested as a good hog gun. If I ever got to Alaska, this would be a very good candidate for the gun to carry. It would also serve as a good house gun. And did I say that it is fun to shoot? [/QUOTE]
