I have a circa 1950s M 21, which is virtually indestructible. I shoot light 1 oz. loads in it. Why? Because my shoulder is attached to it while shooting. Same with my 32" VHE 12 gauge, go to gun.
What a lot of people don't realize is that at 40 yards, the load that starts at 1100 fps, is traveling at a very similar speed as the load that started at 1500 fps. The slower load likely patterns better, and recovery time to the second shot will be much faster.
Less wear and tear on the equipment is an added bonus.
