I was a high school kid, liked to shoot and had very little money. I scrounged wheel weights, cast my pistol bullets. My first handgun was a K-38, 6" and I still have it. That S&W cost me $80 of hard earned pecan picking money. I added a 340 Savage .222 and it went from there. I finally sold the Savage, replaced it with a M-700 ADL, .222. Shot the barrel out over the years. It now wears a .204 PacNor and still shoots lights out.
