Former LEO. Current pilot.
Back into reloading after about 15 years of withdrawal
I mostly reload .223 for a new 10FCP-K purchased recently.
Looking forward to increasing my knowledge from you all and returning the favor where I can.

Hello All

Great site you have here , tons of very good information and helpful members . I don't see the snobby and callus replies to even the most basic of postings , like you see on a few of the other boards . I Didn't know the forum existed till a few days ago , but have read through many of the archived articles over the past few years go figure .

Have only been shooting long range for a short time , but not a stranger to reloading and shooting as I did the service rifle gig for a while till the eyes gave out .

Thanks and looking forward to being an active member

emn83,
Welcome to the forum, your Savage should do just fine.

emn83,
Welcome to the forum, your Savage should do just fine.

Thanks. Been learning a lot, and already thinking about doing some more customizing on the rifle, and of course, getting more stuff for hand loading

Guess I jumped the gun , no pun intended, and asked a question about my rifle first.
Shoot a 6AI built on a 700 with a shilen barrel at local matches and joined to learn more.

Bob,
Welcome to the forum, there is nothing saying you have to come here first but I always like to see guys that do so I or some of the other guys can give you a proper welcome. You have come to the right place, this is the best gun forum on the web by a large margin and full of world class shooters and the best knowledge and advice available, I learn something new all the time on here, I am sure you will fit right in, I hope I can hit the post key before The Snake can welcome you he competes with me on welcoming people I think I don't have much knowledge to offer so they have made me the official welcomer ;D

Hello everyone, my name is rich and im new to this forum. I joined for two reasons. One is to share and talk about reloading and shooting, second is to share experiances with others. My father and i have a large collection of firearms and i just started reloading about a year ago. My first case to reload for was 22-250. I must have bought 8 different heads and a bunch of powders. My father is very expeianced reloader and laughed when i came home with all sorts of stuff. He explained to me how he already worked up a good load and though its fun to try all sorts of new things, i should have asked him what worked and what didnt. Needless to say i had a few heads that didnt shoot well out of the model 70 i was loading for. Since then i have been shooting only reloaded ammo. My new faviorte is my custom built .243 bench gun. I machined the gun in its entire hold the scope and barrel, from scratch. The barrel i ordered as a blank, i chambered, crowned, threaded, the whole nine yards. The langest range i have in my area is 125. The gun shoots a rough shaped hole. The accuracy has really surpased anything i could have ever hoped for. Now i have started experimenting with new loads and am looking for .243 powders and load suggestions.

Stebbins, that's a great first post and welcome. Great job on building that first rifle. Did you build the action also? I bet it feels good to shoot one that you carved out from scratch.

 

[stebbins243]

Yes everything was built from ground up. Im a tool and die maker in ct. I enginered and designed and machined the entire gun. If i can figure out how to post pix i will asap. My laptop is busted so ive been posting from my smart phone. Should be up and going in a few days.
