I have been lurking about this board for some time now, trying to figure out the general tone of things and it seemed like a good place to contribute.
I started reading about and drooling over firearms in the 1950s. Those were the days of mail-order firearms. I progressed through the sixties reading all of the pundits. They were a different crowd then and had different philosophies than the one do now.
I started reloading about 1960, loading paper shotgun shells with a one shell pound-in type loader. It was quite a thing when plastic shot collars became available. I started loading metallic cartridges in 1863 with a little RCBS Jr. press outfit.
During the late 1060s and on, I got into competitive shooting: mostly benchrest and 50 foot gallery. Then I did some Hi-power and so on until now.
At one time, I was an NRA CRI and had an NRA Junior Rifle Club. That was a lot of fun. I taught hunter safety courses before the latest craze caught on in the 1970s, too. Hunter Safety is a good thing.
Glad to help when I can.
