Hi gang,

I'm a new guy and ended up here when I registered for Cast Boolits. Even though I hit the register button there, I ended up here and cannot post there and my sign in works here but not there.

OK, are you guys shanghaiing members? <I kid>

thanks in advance,

SR

We will do anything to get some new faces over here!!!!! LOL

Welcome for coming over and I hope you slip back once in a while.

You cast by the sounds of things so you must reload! What you reload for?

Well I'm not a caster myself yet. I've watched a friend do it and think I can handle it.

I've put off expanding my reloading operation into casting due time and space constraints (which still exist) but was going to start slowly adding some tools here and there.

I've been reloading for about 25 years; I started with .308 Winchester because as a youth I only had one CF rifle and I got tired of shooting factory 180's at wood chucks. Enough gun? Yea I think so. <grin> I ended making a nice 110 Speer load and used it for a couple years before I got into the .22-250.

the list has expanded since then
.308
.22-250
.223
.222
.30carb
.303 brit
7.5 swiss
8mm mauser
.45 ACP
.40 S&W
.357
7.62x54
.300 Winchester Magnum
.260 Rem
12,20, and 28 gauge shotshells

Still need to expand into the .30-40 krag for my CMP surplus purchase. I might just use a .308 neck die if things will fit, I haven't tried it yet.
