Easy solution. Stop going to the range.

Go out and talk to them. We need the younger guys when we are gone, who will tell them of Elmer Keith, John Taffin, Brian Pearce, Bill Jordan, Skeeter Skelton, etc? Surely not Mr. Tactical Instructor who says if it isn't a Glock it ain't right. I'm a younger guy myself (26) been shooting magnums for over 15 years.Also if not shooting at man or beast why not shoot the lightest and most comfortable load instead of the hottest. I get so tickled when I go to the range. There is always some young guy with a 44 or 357 mag that is only shooting the hottest loads he can find. I'm sure its an ego trip. They are all over the target if on it at all. It takes an experienced shooter to control heavy magnum loads. I'm a firm believer that at least half of the people out there carrying guns would be much better off in a gunfight if they had a load lighter than the one they are carrying. Give me accuracy and follow up over power every time. "A hit with a .22 is much more deadly than a miss with a .44"
And how are they supposed to get that experience without shooting heavy loads at the range? Shooting the lightest loads at the range won't help them gain experience, will it?There is always some young guy with a 44 or 357 mag that is only shooting the hottest loads he can find.

How in the world would loads that the gun was designed for shoot it loose faster, jeeze this is an m and p Smith and Wesson we are talking about there is literally a gazillion of these things made.

The new 38 special loads with a 158gr solid base bullet were getting between 850 and 900fps from a 6" barrel. About what most 38 special +P is rated for now.
