I have a 12 inch TC barrel and have shot it a lot. 300 grain bullet is plenty. Heavy bullets really ramp up recoil. Can't push bullet all that much faster than a very heavy 45 Colt load, but will have less pressure. I have shot lots of cast at 300 to 360 grains and usually use an HP jacket bullet when using jacketed bullets. I enjoy it. Works on deer and hogs for sure. My elbow is limiting the amount of shooting I do with big recoilers now.
