As far as how often I can take them out, all my shooting is at lunch time, the range is a 15 min drive, and I've been known to stretch the lunch "hour"

We have no caliber restrictions at the range, I can shoot from 22lr on up to whatever I choose to bring. It is not uncommon to see a 375, 416 or 458. I'm suprised I don't see more 375's, but there aren't that many folks that shoot at lunch, though the #'s have been increasing the last several years. Many folks work in the oil fields 1 week on, 1 off, or 2 on 2 off, and they likely represent a large portion of the lunch crowd.

When I had my 458 lott, and was working up loads, I was shooting it weekly

Often, my shooting time is spent with my clays gun at a local course.

I did hear from the 'smith that my 460 G&A is nearly complete though. I wait with great anticipation...

Should have added this before but I've shot over 250,000 rounds of .22 LR at targets and while it's a different game with a rifle that can punish you - the fundamentals are the same. Familiarity and habits are what goes away with time and no practice. But, the fundamentals stay with you, albeit without the stamina that constant training develops.

I learned a home practice protocol from Jeff Cooper. You place yourself so you can watch your television with your rifle, and every time you get the letter O or a zero 0 on the screen, you mount the rifle and dry fire. It is also a good test of how "handy" the rifle is, and well as practice when you can't get to the range.

Have Fun!

I may have to look into the paper patch thing you where exploring some time back.

I will try the factory stock first I drilled a 6" hole through the wrist and epoxyed a 1/4" steel rod into it,also installed cross bolds,will bed the action and try it if it don't work out I'll have buy a other stock.

I don't mind the drop of the fact.stock so much because I won't put a scope on it and it fit's me well for open sights.
We will have to see.

Regards Martin
