Little guns are fun. Some big guns are fun too. Just not as much fun. I seek fun when shooting, like most of the small bore shooters in this thread. I dont see or seek practicality in small bores. But then I dont see or seek practicality in any sport shooting. Amarillo Mike captured that about as well as could be stated when he said something about tossing out rational thinking once you pass the fried chicken joint on the way out of town to go hunting.
Whether you shoot an eight bore or a .410, muzzleloader or auto, or analyze the recoil effect of 20 grains of ejecta I am pretty sure you are trying to have fun. Have more fun.
Stan, along the lines of your 6 cylinder story, in the 70s, my brother and ran a 122 c.i. 4 cylinder Pinto, turbocharged to over 30 psi. That small bore would leave many large bores in the dust.
