Most of my rifles are for hunting so 50 rounds or less, plus if I am low on ammo it forces me to use a different gun. Also I don’t want to leave a bunch of loaded ammo for my Wife to deal with if I pass suddenly she will have enough on her plate with all of my guns.

I always liked the heavy hitters when I was young. Recoil never bothered me until I injured my shoulder. Nowadays I like smaller calibers . Still have my big boomers in the cabinet. They are still Enjoyable on a properly setup bench. Just got a Ruger #1 in 6mm Remington the other day. Need to...
