I have never been a fan . . .

I find that a Garand or an M1A type rifle is the most "serious" rifle I care to shoot, as their actions mitigate the recoil quite a bit and allow me to still feel I am properly equipped, powerwise. Ny Mini-14 gets more use than these bigger guys do.

And my all-time favorite handgun load of 8 grains of Unique under a 250-grain LSWC or LRN in a .45 Colt revolver is just about all I want to deal with. This does not preclude sensible loads in smaller bores, of course, and the .45 ACP is in a comfort class all out of proportion to its effectiveness.

And with these tools, I can usually hit what I'm shooting at, which is the point, ain't it?
