I've been Handloading for about 20 years now. I load for 7mm Rem Mag and 300 Weatherby mostly. Although I do Load for Pistol as well. Now that the Babies of the Family are Becoming teens they're showing an interest in Shooting and Hunting. So, Grandpa and I are setting out to make this a family thing.
As the young ones are small we're going to start them on .223 (which I have loaded for.)
I have a 6.5X55 SM I want to load for as well and posibly a .243 in the mix.
As far as crazy projects go I have a 416 Weatherby Barrel and A McMillan Stock for the Mark V Action. As soon as I can find a Mark V action with the right Bolt Face I'll be in Business.
When I finish my new bench I'll post a pic, 2nd time around so things are a bit different this time.
It's nice to find so many others in so many places that have the same interests.

That's kind of an unusuall approach. Buying parts before you have the action that is.
I don't see many Mark V actions for sale around here, but if I find one I'll let you know.

Welcome to the board I am a Weatherby fan as well.I`ll keep my eyes open for an action.Many of my friends are gunsmiths so it is a possibility to find you a Mark 5 action...
again,welcome to the site.

It's unusual because the Stock is from a restocked 300 Wby and the Barrel was Given to me by someone re-barreling from 416 to 30-378. I just happened into the parts.
