Getting too old to be shooting.....

..... 6 rounds of 50 BMG in as many minutes. But I did hit the steel 2 times at 1600 yds - not too bad for first time shooting that gun, if I do say so myself. Made the 338 Lapua seem tame, and the 300 Whisper (200 gr @ 1050 fps) with Thunderbeast was just plain fun. Obligatory The Kimber lightweight Carry Pro with new Wilson Combat fl rod and flat wire spring was downright tame (230 gr ball).

The new XDs was flawless except for my screw up - a 40 S&W round found its way into the magazine - it fired and the case stuck in the chamber so the next round in the magazine jammed up the works. A great day, nonetheless.

He's he talking about YOU on the Ruger forum?

I shoot on a friend's ranch about 2 hours from Dallas. 500 rough rugged acres, shooting ranges from 100 to 1600 yards, and only close friends.

The .40 I shot didn't fireform, it split!

Ah yes, the 40/45 Jug Johnson ;)

41 Mag in a 44 Mag don't do too well either. More scrap for the scrappers. Took 20 rounds (light loads) with no hits on target for me to finally check things out.

Norm...Get with the progam!

We are supposed to be wiser as we get older and leave the puberty tests to the young bucks. I avoid all contact with 50 BMG rifles!

And besides....

...they distract you from you beloved .30 caliber cast bullet rifles!
