It may seem counter- intuitive but the 100 fps gain does not carry downrange at that increase but at 40 yds. is negligible. |

http://www.huntamerica.com/recoil_calculator/ An ounce and quarter at 1350 to 1450 is way too stiff for my tastes and too stiff for old classic doubles as far as I am concerned. You definitely do not need that kind of velocity to kill waterfowl with the right size bismuth shot, even at 40 yards. Have you patterned them at 40 yards to see what they are doing?

There is also an article he did that focuses on recoil when velocity and/or charge weight are increased. Made a light charge weight / slow guy out of me for clays with no change in my abysmal scores.

When in doubt, go lighter. The gun...and your body, will thank you.
