Quote from: thinkingman on October 04, 2011, 02:57:05 PMWhy would anyone want to own, let alone shoot a .500 Jeffrey?The term 'compensating' comes to mind.... 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"

Wow 6 pages out of a noisy gun at a gun range. Who would have thunk it? Jackelope I think you have outdone yourself.

Wouldn't want the size of the current motor to be considered "Compensating" It's not the .500 Jeffrey or the compensating or anything like that that bugs me...it's the fact that some feel inclined to tell everyone and their brother about how cool they are and how *censored* all their stuff is. Why criticize someone for using factory ammo? Childish and puny if you ask me. Leave tje criticizing others at the door and you'll be fine here.
My dad could kick all your dad's butts.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.
Most of those that don't shoot factory ammo don't call those that do "sissy" or criticize them for their "safe queen". I don't do McDonalds either.

I have shot probably five boxes of shells thru my 338 RUM open coutry and under roofs target shooting i am required thru my job to have a hearing test every year and there has been no change in five years you buddy might have something else going on
