I have two magnums, a 29 and a 629 DX, and no specials. I use my full magnum handloads only. Why? Because I like the challenge and satisfaction of learning to hit consistently well with them, overcome the common flinch from recoil and blast, and take targets home with the holes close together. The time may well come when this is no longer fun due to physical infirmity, but I'll leap that hurdle when I come to it.

Regards,
Andy
