Welcome to the Reloading Forum -- Introduce Yourself

[Homer]

G'Day Fella's,

Thanks for the pleasant welcome, very much appreciated!

Yeah, its been a very mild Summer down under, with lots of rain and poisonous snakes to go with it!
There is just a hint of Autumn/Fall in the air at present which should mean you blokes in the Northern Hemisphere, are finally starting to warm up just a little, I hope?
As to the on-line "Homer" handle, I must be the chosen one???
Or maybe, just plain lucky! How tinny can you get!!!

Doh!
Homer

Hi
My name is Daniel and I live in Iceland.
I started shooting 2 years ago, now I got a 6mm BR and Remington 700 Sendero in .300 win mag, got a Zeiss 6-24x56 that I use on both rifles, got a Nightforce NSX 12-42x56 on the way, will be on my 6mm BR sometimes next month.

I am a plumber and run my own company so I got all the time in the world to go shooting as I decide my own working hours

I am diving in to the deep end of this hobby, bought a Howa 1500 and changed that to 6mm BR, I do my own reloading and got a pretty good setup for a beginner, then it's just practice and compete.. I go to the range 2-3x every week and shoot about 50-100 rounds each time so I see improvement in group sizes every week.. should reach the .15" average sometimes this summer if my barrel can take all those practices... wonder how many rounds a Krieger match barrel in 13.5 twist can take ??

[Hawkeye Reloader]

Hi there all,
I am from eastern Iowa, a die-hard deer hunter, and I really enjoy shooting varmint caliber rifles and muzzleloaders. I don't currently compete but that might change down the road. I dearly love shooting and in particular reloading. I am always testing powders and loads and working on improving my tools and techniques to wring the most accuracy out of my rifles. I am currently transitioning from factory guns to custom and am currently putting together a Stiller Predator-Kreiger-McMillan-Jewell build. My next project will be a 25-06 custom. I am here to listen and learn from you guys.
Thanks in advance for all the great advice I am sure I will get,
Chris

Welcome Chris. Sounds like you are headed down the accuracy path of no return. Good for you and I hope your first custom is all you want into be. But hey, if it doesn't work out, you can always give it to me. ;D

Again welcome to the BEST fourm there is.

Hi; I use the AKA plugger01, plugger, a name my Dad's friends gave him. I am really getting into the 17 Rem and I want to learn all I can about the round and ways to load it. I plink with a 17HMR. Still learning the reload art but it is fun to do. I have been shooting for a very long time and I like them all. Hope to learn a lot here.

Hello, all.
I've been reloading for a little over 50 years, and have so much fun learning, that I can't believe when I find out more. I'm involved in most forms of reloading, except black powder, tho' I have done some.
I like to shoot competition 'cause it gives me more opportunities to reload.
have fun,
Gene

Welcome Gene! 50 years and still love it; that's a good deal. Hopefully you will find opportunities to learn even more on this site. I know I have.

Gene,
Welcome to the forum, with 50 years of experience I look forward to reading some of your posts and learning something new from you, I am only 48 years old so you have been loading more years then I am old so make sure you share some of that knowledge, take care and enjoy
Wayne.

Greetings from lat 45.3775 long -76.8655 My name is Marc and I'm just getting back into the accuracy game. I recently purchased a Savage Predator Hunter Max 1 in 223 that shoots remarkably well. Any pointers on 70gr VLD loads would be much appreciated.

Welcome Marc, neighbor from the north. I also shoot a Savage but not in 223. If you post your question in the reloading section, I am sure there will be lots of help for you. Again welcome.
