Hello from sunny South Africa
Hi everyone I would like to introduce myself.
My name is Richard and I live in a suberb of Durban called Northdene.
I grew up on a dairy farm and started hunting pretty mutch as soon as I could hold a rifle, first with an air rifle then graduated to a .22 , we had a Brno semi auto , in fact my dad still has it. Later on I started using the .303. In 1982 I went to the army for 2 years , national service in those days. It was only after that that I started reloading , I bought aLee turret press and still use it today.
During hunting season , which is from may to August we try and hunt every second weekend. We normally hunt lmpala or blesbuck or black or blue wildebeest and kudu and warthog.
I also shoot hunting rifle target competitions and clay pigeon. I don't shoot handguns very much anymore.
Well that's about it for now
Cheers for now
Richard

Re: Hello from sunny South Africa
Don't worry too much about the pictures it took me a couple of months to figure out the buttons.
