We had to leave the range last weekend because a guy with some kind of huge custom handgun with a muzzlebreak on it sat next to my daughter (who was practicing with her new deer rifle) and started blasting away.  She was getting the direct blow back from his gun.  She told me that she was getting hit with hot particles and the blast was hurting her head.  She had on ear plugs and muffs and the blast was still ringing her bell.  The guy heard her complain about it, shook his head and kept firing at an even faster pace.  We had been there for a while and there were other benches he could have gone to.  I have no idea why he had to pick the one right next to her or to continue knowing that he was hurting my kid. I told him what I thought of him and left. What a dick!  We usually just stay at home and shoot across the pasture but every now and then it is nice to be at a range to really dial in.  Unfortunately, we run into many more *censored*es at the range than we do at home.

I try not to go to the range this time of year because i don't think it very safe... I have been to the tree farm on the skagit border and been sweeped a couple of times... Muzzle control with a lot of people not paying close attention makes me  :'(
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Anybody know a smith that can cut the end off of my barrel?

The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

I remember the days of public ranges. I worried less about the big bores than I did about being swept by the muzzle and all the others mentioned already.

sissys and their safe queens that show up with their factory ammo

I find it amusing that you feel "sissys"(sp) shoot factory ammo, yet you apparently have a brake on more than one of your rifles.  So, let me get this straight; sissies shoot factory ammo and "tough guys" need a muzzle brake...lol. :chuckle:

Give it some more years and by chance you may advance in the firearm/ reloading world and see the light untill then. I suggest you plug up and put on muffs, check and see if you have a pair  because my muzzle brakes on super magnums will always be there.  :chuckle: :tup: ;)
Biggerhammer,
If I didn't know better, I'd say you are BigStick signing in under a different ISP. :rolleyes:
If you want to manup, I'll offer you a few rounds of my handloaded 300wsm 200gr Partitions...you can get nice and comfy behind my 6.5lb Tikka, I'll take off the Limbsaver for you to enjoy the full effect.
Muzzle brakes?...pulleeeeze....Grow a pair. :tup:
And leave your hearing protection behind.


No problem! :tup:  I'll  give your Toy T3 a go, I'll even do it naked wearing my daughters hot pink ear muffs! In turn you can give the .500 Jeffery a go(Doesn't have a brake) and I'll be kind enough to leave the recoil pad on. ;)

Tough guy??? I wouldn't call it that, it's more like " Recoil management" :IBCOOL:

Either way I got your .300 WSM covered 8)

Why would anyone want to own, let alone shoot a .500 Jeffrey?
The term 'compensating' comes to mind.... :chuckle: :chuckle:

It serves a double purpose, the 500 Jeffery that is. If you cant kill something that can kill you, before it gets you. You can drop the SOB on the ground, crawl in the barrel and hide. ;)

Maybe I should go pull the motor in my truck and stuff a more efficient 4 cylinder in there. Wouldn't want the size of the current motor to be considered "Compensating" :bash:

Probably an awesome wetside elk gun.  I'm designing a lever-action .458 Lott (or maybe bigger) for that purpose.

That's what a .700 Nitro Mag is for....if you're going to do it, do it right....let's not *censored*foot around.

Here's what I roll in my Prius....

I run a straight exhaust and turn up the country music so everybody knows how manly I am.
