Good morning to all. I have been a Handi-Rifle owner for some time now. Started with my wife's first deer,moose,bear,gun in 1985. Graduated up to several now including a 444Marlin and a 45-70. Have my gunshop keeping their eyes open for me a 500S&W mag also.
Joined the USN when I was 17,retired at 39. Worked a couple of jobs and then became a Registered Maine Master Guide. "Worked" at that for another 20 years til the WX got too darned cold as I got too darned old. Now retired again to NW Florida.
Currently reload for(been at it for some 35 years) 14 different chamberings, some being used in my pistol and rifles both(454Casull.44mag,444Marlin,etc). Am a real fan of the big bores but also own several AR's and a 220Swift. Also reload for 12 and 20ga.
I am a very active supporter of the 2nd Amendment and currently teach concealed carry/and hand to hand defense, to the wives of active duty military.
Being here will try to learn and teach,both. My dad always said,"you learn by listening and not by talking. I still believe this to be true today.
Thanks to all for having me.---pruhdlr
