Yep. I am fortunate to have my own place to shoot anytime I want out my backdoor. That has not always been the case. Nowadays, you go to some of the gun ranges and see some of the idiots out there. Talk to them. Wow-- scary. I blame the internet for that. If a fellow wants to Google something, he can wind up here. If he does not read the whole thread, it could be bad. I have always been a conservative hand loader. If I want more power, I pick another gun. The only thing I use the 500 S&W for is to let friends shoot it for kicks. My wife and kids thought it would be cool to buy me a 50 cal for my 50th birthday. It really is worthless to me. But I won't sell it.


Gun Shows are almost as comical as boat ramps in the Spring.
