Well...  I done did it and I  loved it...   in a way, shooting the  500gr rnds
for the .50 cal was  more fun than the 400gr rnds.   ( mostly because
the powder  seemed to be a lot cleaner  for the 500grains rounds than
the 400's.  After 5 rounds with the 400's the cylinder was gunked up
really bad...  there was a lot of carbon from Sat's visit to the range
but not really that bad.)

Sat's visit to the range was really short because we got there about 45mins
before it closed so there was not a whole lot of shooting done... 

::brag mode::

I was able to hit a smaller target at the 75 yrd marker with the beast of
a pistol I use...  while I did not hit the paper target, I did hit the small
6 inch wide board the paper target was stapled to...  for me, that is not
too bad really...
