They are very light to carry, which translates into some pretty hefty backward motion when you pull the trigger.

I tried my friend tonight and he's not home. He lives in Wyoming. I'll give him another try before the weekend.
For now I do have a few reloading links for you to check:
www.reloadersnest.com/rifle.asp
www.hodgdon.com/#
www.nosler.com/index.php?p=15
www.alliantpowder.com/reloaders/Index.htm
www.loadswap.com/

As always double check all load data to make sure it's safe. I usually consult a few sources before deciding. I think H4350, IMR 4350, or RL19 would be good powders for this cartridge.
Here's a link to a recoil calculator.
www.handloads.com/calc/recoil.asp
I hope this helps.
