"the" one that suprised me the most was the 22 Hornet, with the addition of a faster twist barrel... I did an expirimental custom revolver in that set up, & was so impressed, I did the same 1 in 9" twist on a Ruger 77 - 22 Hornet... 68 grain bullets are my favorite in the FT Hornet in both the 6" revolver & the rifle...
the 8 X 57 suprised me in recoil ( especially in the old military straight stock carbine guns ) back 20 years ago, my FIL asked if I'd sight in one of his guns... I thought it was an honor... in reality, after about 30 rounds through the gun on the bench, the result was a 6" bruise on my shoulder... t-shirt, straight stock, steel butt plate, bench shooting, & 8 X 57 = bruise...
