want more and more power. Randy Garrett supplied the ammo for them that gave them more power but within safety boundaries. We never had any problems with Garretts ammo other than some idiots wanting to use that ammo in a gun not meant for that ammo. We always show the people what guns it was intended for by the label on top. They didn't always believe us as they always seemed to think their 44 mag revolver was strong as any other 44 mag. The S&W M-29 is one of my all time favorite revolvers but I will be the first to tell you my M-29 is not as strong as a Ruger Redhawk. It is a lot smoother but not as strong, period.

As we get older we tend to shy away from the overly hot ammo and abusive recoil(at least most of us do, Kelly Brost is not included in this group).

Loading up my ammo for my African Lion hunt in 8 weeks I found the loads I used in my 378 GNR a few years back for African plains game like Kudu, Gemsbok, eland and such were a bit hard to handle these days.
Just like there is a call for cars with more and more horsepower, and probably always will be, there is also a demand for more and more power in a handgun. Look at the 500 S&W and the 460 S&W. Then look at all the hot stuff that Reeder guy has developed. There is always a demand for more of everything. When we get to where we are satisfied with a 32 auto, then this business is doomed.
