[C.R.Sam]

And often carried on chains and in pocket....

Rather than how hot AND how heavy one could load...
You used a bigger gun.

A lot of reloaders did it for comfort, entertainment, economy, accuracy AND longevity of the firearm.

Be it rifle, shotgun or handgun.

We usually didnt load to make more noise than our buddies.

You don't need a hyper whammey overstuffed throat erodin brain scramblin hot load to do accurate work, long range or short.

Knowledge of gun, load and range will fill a pot or kill a bad guy.

Then on the other hand, did try a 22/06 in the late 40s.

Sigh.
