[QUOTE="Josh P, post: 1599880, member: 60236"] You said sight it in and a box of shells will last you for years. I disagree to be able to shoot a heavier recoiling rifle proficiently it takes practice with that class of rifle. The ten of thousands of bbs I shot as a child and the thousands of 22s never got me ready or used to the first time I pulled the trigger on the old 32 win special. But the hundreds of 32 got me ready for the 06 and the 06 got me ready for the 300. I shoot a lot of smaller calibers as well and trigger time is good no matter what it is but to be proficient at anything takes practice and the only way to become accustomed to recoil is to shoot something with recoil. I shoot my heavier recoiling rifles at the beginning of my sessions and move to the lighter recoil guns as I fatigue. So I do enjoy and have a better experience at the range or where we shoot steal. All the 223 in the world won't get you conditioned for 50 to 100 rounds of magnum cartridges doing long range work with a few magnum rifles. By the way as to be able to shoot more,enjoy my range time more, and extend range time I shoot most of my rifles suppressed. As to the if you don't feel comfortable after 40 or 50 rounds you never will you mean to tell me you in 50 rounds have a rifle figured out and are completely comfortable with it? A rifle in most cases isn't completely broke in until 100 or so rounds and learning it form there to distance take say another 50 to 100. Guess I just have a different way of being comfortable with my rifles. [/QUOTE]
