I registered a couple of weeks ago so I guess an introduction is still in order. I didn't even know this introduction forum was down here. I guess I never got past humor and off topic
Let's see....I've been in Texas all my life, grew up in the country so shooting casually was a given. Now I'm in the city and shoot to get away from life's problems and relax for a while (does that make me a shootaholic?).
I don't get the opportunity to hunt much any more and all of my early hunting experience was small game or dove. All of the land that I hunted and fished on when I was growing up has been sold off in 5 acre tracts after the old owners gradually died off. I've been on a couple of spring turkey hunts on a friend's lease in Jacksboro in recent years. I would love to try the feral hogs just a short drive east of me where an uncle of mine owns some land.
I started reloading in '88 or so after I saw and bought my first T/C Contender in .256 Win Mag and factory ammo was becoming scarce. The most recent development in reloading for me was the addition of a 30 herrett barrel, my first wildcat and my second experience at brass forming. (7-30 waters was first) Also, my daughter (20) got her own apartment and now I can reload in the spare room instead of a cold garage! My son (18 ) goes to the range with me sometimes and I have introduced him to reloading so he can load what he shoots (supervised).
I browsed (lurked
) these forums for quite a few months and picked up a lot of valuable tips and kind of got to know eveyone a little, so it's only fair that you know a little about me.
Shoot often,
Curtis
