[QUOTE="Willys46, post: 1016716, member: 6536"] Light vs heavy, for a practice gun I would not go heavier than a sendero conture. I run that contoure on everything. I could step down on size if needed. The heat build up and the wandering shots have decreased substantially with the better barrel manufacturing. They are better at relieving stress so the shots do not wander as bad as in the past. You want something with enough weight to feel solid and help reduce some recoil. This way you can practice by your self and be able to spot your own shots. I am a lot harder on barreles than wildrose. In matches and training I will put many rounds down range in a very short period of time (10-16 rounds in 90-120 seconds). When you are on the clock you have to shoot fast. You want something you can shoot and shoot often. Trigger time is what you are after. Example, when practicing for hunting, I will show up cold bore, cold shooter and pick a target with my hunting gun. First shot of the day at what I think I will shoot a animal at. I get my cold bore hunting practice and gain DOPE. Then repeat with the practice gun and make corrections. Have a plan when you arrive, if you don't you will be sending rounds down range learning nothing. Before I pack up I will send another one down range with the hunting gun to just check. It should be another cold bore by then! [/QUOTE]
