another "new guy"

[rush1886]

Hi everybody

Please be patient, as this is my first attempt at any kind of forum activity.

Not new to shooting. Not new to reloading. Took my first deer in 1974, with a Ruger M77, 270Win, 130gr Nosler Partition, handloaded.
I've shot, and reloaded, many modern centerfires,, including handguns, but kinda got "swamped" in muzzleloaders, from around 1976 to about 1990.
Gradually started back into metallics, cast bullets in handguns, mostly, and I am a real levergun fan.

Along the way, I picked up a nasty TC Contender habit, and that's what brings me here.
I own, shoot, and reload for several Contenders, and have recently decided to merge my Contender and levergun habits, sort of.

I'm looking at building a Contender rifle, 30/30 Ackley, and want to shoot Cast Boolits, exclusive.

That's me, in a nutshell. Looking forward to interacting with as many of you as possible.

I suppose I can only quote the late, Great John Wayne---"Fill your hands, you SOB"s"

Rush did you ever meet Jack O'Connor? He lived in Lewiston after he retired.
