    I use just 2 forums most days, this one and my local state gun forum.
    Castboolits was recommended as a place to learn casting, well it worked,
    almost to good, wife asks "What is that mold for", all I can say
    is "we NEEDED it to reload"LOL
    If it were not for this site I could not shoot as much as I like.
    As far as foul mouth, I am (was) a Sailor, foul mouth is in me, biker dont help.
    So I have learned to be nice when I have to, as I get older I dont need to
    make myself behave as much.
    Thanks Much guys for letting me learn and partake.

    Sometimes I'll be looking for some imfo. and you do a search relating to guns,reloading,or casting and the search engine will give "Cast Boolits" most all the time. That says alot about the sight and the knowledge found on here. Thanks 45nut and all others that supply us with this sight.

    This is the only forum I have ever been on that when you ask a question you don't get the typical "Other forums" answers of "That has been beaten over a hundred times so just search for the answer" or some other smart A#*S remark. The resident folks here always have the time and patience to answer any questions even it it has been asked a thousand times before! Yes this is a very special place and I'm thankful I found it.

    Yup, this is my home forum. Almost every time I google something gun/reloading related, the first several hit just lead me back here.
    Too many good people here to spend much time anywhere else.
    Thank you Ken and all of the moderators who make this place great.

    For the knowledge base that exists here, I doubt that you can find it elsewhere. For people helping each other and extending "helping hands," the same. I've seen some rude posts and some people getting into other people's face here, needlessly, IMHO. For the most part, I see people getting along and sharing, as well as willing to help one another. Really like a family. Nice place to be.

    The thing that makes this site exceptional is the membership.

    I could go into a 3 page discription of the knowledge, charity, compassion etc. shared by the members here, and it would end up saying what my original statement said.

    Thank you all (ya'll)

    Trey and Bret;

    I am firmly of the belief that ONE incident of abusive posting to the staff should be grounds for instant termination of the offender. This should also apply to any use of the more-profane language that is used on other sites ("four-letter-words" for lack of better definition).... we all know the common street-level terms of which I speak. I will further suggest that "NAZI" should join the lexicon which will warrant termination,

    It's no accident that so many of us consider this to be our Internet "home". Careful attention to administering this decent site has paid off in no uncertain terms, and it's all due to the moderators maintaining a gentle-but-firm grip on the material that gets posted. I add my thanks to all of you to the opinions already expressed....

    THANK YOU, after more than eight years of appreciative participation here. I know that mods are human, and might on occasion be mistaken in some way, but with suitable review procedures for moderator actions, there should be little to generate complaints from the general membership.
    Regards from BruceB in Nevada

    Newbie member & caster here and I enjoy this site a lot. I have been asking questions and searching for info to help me improve my boolit making skills. Also made a new friend from the site who lives a short drive from my place.

    Ive only been a member of one other site that was close to this one. It still has good people but it grew very large and the magic was lost. Good moderation is the key. If you have that, the smart people eventually show up and people like me benefit. Thanks 45nut and mods past and present.

    Where else in the world can you find a site where sending an item one has sold to a fellow member before the item has been paid for, knowing full well the level of trust will dictate follow-through payment, is a common occurrence?

    I've done it several times and other members have afforded me the same level of trust several times. What a community!!

    No truer words could have been spoken than in your first post. But since I don't frequent other forums and really like a great deal, mind saving me some time and telling me the other forum names?

    Depends on what you are looking for. For bullets, brass, primers, powder, etc. You can find deals on most gun forums. Christmas is here and people are dumping all their panic stock.

    You just have to check the classifieds all the time.

    I don't have anything new to add to what has already been said. But I just have to add my two cents to say a hardy thank you to Ken, and the whole staff that give so much of their time to keep this site at the top when it comes to other internet sites. I don't waste my time on any other site. As someone posted, "why would I need to?" This site has all I need to feed my need for shooting, reloading, casting, general discussion, etc. Besides you are all such enablers that I can't afford to join any other sites. I tend to spend all my extra money over at swappin and sellin. Thanks to all for making this site No.1.

    Back in 06 my PUNK KID " hardware" helped me build my puter.

    I do not know how many sites I visited or joined trying to find a place to rest my sorry old bones.

    Well I am here and ain't going to leave.

    What other site would let you bring in an ornery mule to kick some posteriors using custom made shoes.

    When we were fighting for CCW here in Il I asked 45 Nut if I could refer other folks to a special site for more Illinois info.

    Well if you have been around for a year or more you knew what Ken said.

    Then I pestered Gunload Master about setting up our own group. Several Moderators also jumped in and helped as well.

    Tell me of 1 other site where you can feel this type of friendship. Just 1.
    WE WON. WE BEAT THE MACHINE. WE HAVE CCW NOW.

    This is definitely my go to site and by far the most family friendly forum for gun talk. I really appreciate the work that goes into making this site available. Thanks and keep up the good work!
