I trashed my right wrist riding bucking horses in college and do not shoot the heavy loads too much.

Moderation being a good thing here.

I dig the pics!

No flame intended here, but why do y'all insist on shooting such heavy bullets, especially in the Smith and double-especially in the Mountain Gun version? It would seem that factory 240's would be much easier on the wrists. Heck, the 44-40 made do with 200 grains for much of its existence. Going lighter instead of heavier would seem best.
