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...

I finish the case for my NEW (used) Ruger Super Redhawk Today. I put all its goodies in the case with it. The case started life out as a RIDGID 22 in. high-impact resin organizer box. I chose it because it has an integrated water seal to protect against water and dust intrusion and because i'm too cheap to buy a Pelican case.
I had the foam from a TELSA battery I had installed for my solar system and my crafty wife helped me with the iron-on and vinal logos using her Cricut Maker machine. Some Material from Hobby Lobby and 3M Hi-Strength 90 Contact Adhesive from the Home Depot is all it took.
