Quote from: PPK on January 03, 2012, 04:19:00 AMMy brother was not shooting dismally, I just was well practiced at that time. After I passed the 13,000 round mark in the 26 in about 2006 I stopped keeping track*. I put in much more range time back then. Most depts here requal 4 times a year.*Shortly after that I had numerous other guns to be shooting so the 26 got less range time than it used to.I just realized that people might read that post and conclude that I shot 13000 rounds out of my 26 during 2006. That is not what I meant. I had bought the gun in December 1999 and by mid 2006 was @ the 13,000+ mark through it. I was also shooting my 40s and 45s, 22s, 44 magnums etc but that little pistol went to the range everytime back then, no matter what else I was shooting. That frequency of practice will get a person proficient.

So if I were to buy a little gun like the one I shot in California, and practice with it a LOT, I too would become an expert shot, at least with that gun ... Cool.
How old were you when you stopped pooping yourself?
You like seals, then?
7mm mag or 300 win mag?

Harbor Seals are my favorite marine mammal.Quote from: earthboundmisfit on March 17, 2012, 04:53:35 PM7mm mag or 300 win mag?7mm Rem Magnum, some of the 160 gr BTSP have .556 bc and the 175 Grand Slam have a bit less but bc is still good. Great for for killing any game animal in the lower 48. My older brother has a Browning A bolt in 300 Win Mag though which is a very nice gun. IIRC you have to get up to about 200 grains to match the bc of 7mm 160 BTSP. OTOH that 200 grains will probably get 2900 fps @ the muzzle with Retumbo or some such.
By "lower 48," do you mean the 48 continental United States?
Talking about Seals and big guns in the ame post? Shame on you. They will not like this attitude back at the commune. Very un-new age, man.
