It's called aging and getting older and wiser. Think about it years ago we shot stout magnum loads at the range at paper targets why? Now I reload the lesser powerful rounds that are easier to shoot, at the end of the shoot I shoot six normal magnum loads just to remind me what a magnumbload feel like.
Now my 338 Winchester magnum rifle is another story. When I shoot it I ask myself why did I buy this thing. I stop on the way home to pick up my shoulder on the side of the road. It's a beast.
She was my new bear rifle replacing my 30-06. I'm no good at running, speed, climbing trees, plus I'm not in a tree stand. I figured I could never have too much gun.
