Man, that gun did some serious talkin' to me...I was datin' this gal, she was with me & got her drawers all in a wad over it, so I passed, but shoulda called my buddy who was there & lived in Louisville, after we got back here & Sweet Thaing went home, to go back & get it for me...

I know a guy who works at the local hardware store, has a .50 S&W. He loads it the same way.

Never shot much over .357's, .45's, but the nastiest handgun I ever shot was a .44 mag Ruger single action with Patchmeyer grips. 240 gr full house loads, I don't know why Patchmeyer grips are so beloved, give me Hogue grips and day. That fukker burned my paw, wouldn't would have wanted to do much target shooting with that combo.

But I'm a pussy, recoil don't suit me too much. Like my .22's, or my .17 HMR.
