I made the mistake of "going big" with my first spoon purchase with a .40 cal. My latest purchase should have been my first.......a .22. It is a great range caliber and it is the least expensive when it comes to ammo, thus a ton of learning how to shoot with a smaller investment. The are many to choose from and it is something you can shoot longer without fatigue in your hands and the pain that may follow in shooting larger calipers. Have fun in your search.
