Used to carry my clay bird reloads for the week in coded five gallon plastic buckets as it saved having to box and mark the boxes.

IRC could get around 400rds or so in them without damaging the carry handles. Went through approximately 3 buckets a week at various shoots. Can not believe today, did that without any pain after the fact.

Larger pistol of .44 Mag and up over the years, resulted in only a two hand hold for any extended shooting to support tendons in right wrist. 45/70 pistol forget it unless it has the muzzle brake, and that is only a trade off toward another problem even wearing hearing protection.

I can only hope like father, like son, it will be time for the 20 gauge when I'm 83.

Yep, it's cumulative! But so is tomorrow, and I hope we all have tomorrow for a good long while yet. Would I trade any of it off?

Nope!
