A M29 Mountain Gun was my second handgun. I have only fired a full box of ammo at the range once. I don't find it necessary. I usually shoot a box of 44 special's, usually at a plate rack and then a few of what ever I have magnums and then a cylinder or two of Buffalo Bore low recoil's.

Now that I have other pistols I do most of my practice with cheaper to shoot ammo and it would be expensive to pop off 150 rounds in 30 minutes like I now do with 9mm or 38 but once you can more or less shoot to what ever standard you want you can maintain it with a monthly range trip. Shooting it 50 rounds twice a week is way out of my budget.
