RE: what's your biggest booboo.....be honest?
Got distracted loading some plinking rounds for my Super Blackhawk. Everybody at the range got a big kick out of my having to extract 240-gr lazercasts from the forcing cone of my pistol. The Lesson of the Day was to charge all 50 rounds, check them visually and ONLY THEN seat the bullets.
Then, there was finding out that a 22-caliber HORNET doesn't work in a 22-250. Even with a full charge, they hit the dirt after about 150 yards. It was a lucky day for Prairie Dogs. I can still hear cruel, varmint laughter echoing in my ears from that day.
