Just a big Thank You To All

[desertbandit]

I'd like to thank everyone for answering all my questions, bone headed as some may have been.....I have probably been reloading, longer them a lot of you have been alive....I was raised in Pheasant country and started reloading shotgun shells in the mid 50's....I hired out to farmers and saved my money, and bought a used Herters 12ga reloading press....I was standing in tall cotton then....Previously, I loaded by hand.....Then in the early 60's, deer started showing up around my Grandpa's farm....Time for an 06 and reloading press,,,,Herters came through again....Through the years, I've went through many presses and accessories, and have enjoyed every minute of it.....I wasn't to concerned about accuracy in the beginning, but later, I started buying many rifles and wanted accuracy out of them....Since then, many pounds of powder bought and thousands of bullets bought,,,,Last year was my last Wy. hunting trip....The mountains got to high and the gorges got to deep for this old man, but I'm going to keep experimenting with loads and shooting, until they will have to pry my cold, dead fingers, off my reloading press......

Bone head questions? I think not! Your right, you have been reloading long before I was born, but even in my short live, I have learned that the only bone head question is the one you never ask!!! Respect is gained in humbleness and knowledge is true power. Seems you have both!!! Thank you for being here to educate the young and ignorant like myself! Fellows like you kept me from blowing my hands and face off!!!

There are guys down here in Texas that run Helicopter Hog Hunting trips. It’s supposed to be an absolute hoot and it’s not physically demanding. I hear it’s fairly expensive but it’s on my bucket list! Might want to think about it.
I only started reloading in the mid seventies, so I don’t have the depth of knowledge that you do but it’s one of my top three favorite pastimes!
Keep doing as long as you can!

@desertbandit, we're all glad you are here, glad you are still shooting and reloading. This is the best site I know of and we all manage to get along pretty well. Stick around and ask all of the questions you have, share the knowledge you have, and like most of us here ( especially me as I'm 68 and still fairly new to hand loading ), learn from the masters. My skills have improved dramatically over the last six years or so because of all of the good folks on AS.

Poetry, maybe I'll get to load that long in several decades.

Reloading is a rather unique "hobby"/"passion"/"you fill in the blank" obsession.

Never stop learning something new, different, better, faster, and, and and........and!
