Hi Herb,
Yup...
Every gun in my safe (including the pricey pieces) have been fired at least one time by me with 15-20 rounds. I first use my "dummy rounds" to make sure the actions work and then take them out to the range.
What is the fun of building a collection when you haven't used a gun as it is intended...for shooting.
Once that "first drive around the block" is done, those pricey pieces stay in my safe...I have a few shooter lugers to occupy my time thereafter... <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />
