long time shooter, new memb er

Post by oldfart64 »



Hello all!, I am a retired radiation physicist. I have been shooting for 60 years now (No I am not just 64, haha), Hard to believe but life went quick and I could not pursue my hobby for a long time too much road travel and no firearms in company vehicles. I am now also returning to reloading. Back in the 60's, I had a lee loader and reloaded many of my shotgun shells, it was fun even though ammo was cheaper then. So, I am with much time on my hands and am going to try it again. I will drive you all crazy with questions on stuff I can't find for myself, I hope you will bear with me until I get the hang of it. Oh, BTW, I live in the free state of Washington, target shooting and occasional varmint shooting are my 2 favorites right now.
Regards from
THE Old Fart

So do your bullet glow in the dark? :roll: ;) Glad to have another retiree here to keep these youngsters inline. :P I used to run a cardiac cath lab at a local hospital. Managed to liberate some lead containers and shielding as a result.

Great hobby to sink yourself into.

When setting a job up for myself it must be Idiot Proof as well, as I am a bigger idiot than most people I know, and I prove it to myself everyday.
