Gun Owning Smokers

CptnBlues63 its not really that dangerous I am self taught also.


I am still learning even after messing with it on and off for 25 years every time I change calibers it's a new load to research and work with to get it where I want it.

I started back in 1984 with a lee hand loader the ones where you used a hammer to build your shell and that worked well for me when I was only loading 10 to 20 rounds.

I just picked up one of the old hand loaders the other day for 38 special, for some reason I still like the simple tools.
I have a hand press that I use at the range but I still get a kick out watching others faces when you start pounding on a bullet

You have been at this for quite a while longer than me. :) I was born in 84.

Its been on and off for me.
Started with 30/30 stopped loading for a few years them moved to 20 gauge shot shells for a few years took a break.

On and off like that till this last ammo shortage then I decided to start reloading every caliber I have but 22 to be able to shoot still.

What started me in to reloading was I was at a range and a guy saw me struggling to stay on target with my 30/30 so he placed my gun in a shooters vice to show me it was not me it was the ammo or the gun.
Hunting down match grade ammo was a pain in the but and expansive so I started making my own for hunting.
