65. Would have to agree

Sep 2013

Most folks I have known prefer accuracy when shooting and the novelty of just shooting a slew of rounds wears off quick.

And obviously the cost of the rounds (even if you factor reloading - and let's not forget that can be time consuming as well and most reloaders I knew did it for control of the round and experimenting as well as cost, not many would want to waste all of that work so quickly - except maybe the .50 crowd) makes it even less of an attractive option to spend money on.

When I eventually move to the country and buy a gun most likely will get something I can reload cheaply to keep cost down and mess with the grains and such, couldn't imagine getting that all set up and shooting them all off in seconds - would suck
