Thought I'd come in and check the place out. Thanks for leaving the door open.
I'm a network administrator for a County Dept. in Calif. I used to reload my own .223, .357. .44 about a hundred years ago. But had to sell everything off when we mysteriously started having little ones popping out every year or two there for a while. Had to feed the darn things! We finally figured out what was causing that so made some adjustments... Now that all the little ones are big ones and on their own, I've been able to return to the firearms hobby and reloading. I had to start from the ground up as I'd sold everything (except my first .22 pistol and my grandfather's Monkey Wards single shot squirel .22 rifle.)
I've even gotten a good start in casting my own. I'm currently the proud ownder of a .308, .30-06, CZ .45 auto, S&W 9mm auto, Makarov 9mm, Traditions .50 Hawkins and Army revolver both in muzzleloaders and last Christmas my wonderful wife picked me up the Hunter version of the S&W .500.
I'm casting for the .500, .45, .50 roundball at this time. And reloading those and the .308 and 30-06.
I've been back into the hobby for less than a year now after nearly 20 years away. I'm excited about finding this site and am also a member of Handloads.com and Cast Boolits (mostly lurk there). Thanks again for making this site available.
