The 5744 shot like complete turd. The N140 however shot beautifully. Not much noticeable difference in felt recoil and the groups were fantastic.

So, after being convinced a full power load would be a bit too savage in the old girl, truth is it wasn’t. I’ll be continuing loading with N140 I think.

my 1904/39 8mm verguiero shoots full loads with ease......she just sweat oils from her furniture.
my shoulder will give in before she does
