I'm Done - No more - Absolutely Done! Argggg...

[mrclark303]

I had a desert eagle in .44 mag and found it completely shootable with handloads. If I used one grain more powder it was like taking a mini shotgun blast in the face from the extra unburned powder, one less and the action wouldn't lock back. As it was it was enjoyable. I also missed a chance to buy a M 29 S&W four inch with magna port barrel. It had been done so it stayed flat when you shot and there was little muzzle rise on firing. Nice trigger so it could be DA fired easily too... All of those are past now as my arthritis has hold of me as well.

I feel your pain Jim, I've got arthritis in my lower back, hips and hands, particularly through the thumb joints...

Not fun! Prone shooting is out, it hurts like a bitch these days, so it's out with my trusty shooting bench on open ranges...

I don't shoot competition anymore, just for fun, so not a real problem so far...
