wolfriverjoe 1,523 #3 February 6, 2015 Rifle, 338 Lapua Mag. A muzzle brake made it powerful, but fun. Also, a Ruger #1 in 45-70 handloaded way up, within about 50 fps of a 458 Win Mag. That rattled my teeth pretty good. Pistol: 500 S&W, Desert Eagle 50AE, 480 Ruger. None of the pistols were a lot of fun to shoot. Impressive & powerful, but somewhat painful. The owner of the 500 Smith had a pair of gel palm gloves, with a piece of mouse pad cut to fit the palm area for extra padding. You had to make sure the pistol was centered in the web between the thumb and index finger or it would bruise. One of the really fun "extra benefits" of volunteering as a Range Officer is when a shooter asks "Do you want to try this?" Edit to add: Forgot about a 50 BMG bolt action rifle. But the rounds were handloads that were downloaded a fair amount. Big muzzle brake and light rounds made it pretty tame. "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

muff528 3 #7 February 6, 2015 Largest caliber handgun - .45 ACP, .45 Long Colt Largest caliber rifle - .44 mag. (not counting .54 cal black powder, maybe a musket rather than rifle, can't remember.) Baddest rifle I've fired - .340 Weatherby Magnum. Largest bore - 12 ga. slug. 1.5" pvc potato gun. (well, it is the largest and it is a firearm in some places) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

champu 1 #9 February 6, 2015 Lots of shooting trap/skeet/sporting clays with 12 ga. Bolt action .50 BMG, but then a rather abrupt drop off down to .30-30 and 5.56x45 in the rifle department. Also a whole bunch of .45 colt and, of course, .22lr Nothing exciting with handguns... 9mm, .38 spc, and .22 lr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BartsDaddy 7 #16 February 7, 2015 In pistol 45-70. In a rifle 50bmg bolt action being 35lbs and big muzzle brake it felt about like a 12gauge with a lot more cuncusion. The one that hurt the most 375H&H magnum. In a shotgun 10gauge. Handguns are only used to fight your way to a good rifle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riggerrob 643 #20 February 7, 2015 7.62 x 54 NATO Never heard of 7.62X54 being called NATO .................................................................................. Sorry. My bad. 7.62 x 54 mm is popular in former Communist countries, heck it was popular before communism was invented. The Tsarist Armies shot 7.6 x 54 by the millions of rounds. It is still widely used in light machine guns (PKM) and sniper rifles (Dragonyev). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
