Just joined this august group. Got the info from another gun board.

I don't know how I got to be this way but I guess I qualify as an old-timer. Loaded my first ammo back in '55— with an old (and sturdy!) CH H-press. Loaded 8x57mm for a commercial "B" Mauser, .38/.357 for a brand new Bill Ruger flattop, and .44-40 for a '92SRC. All three of which are still in my stables. Since then I have expanded somewhat and now load for about 20 different cartridges pretty evenly distributed between rifles and handguns.

I find reloading restful, meditative, challenging, but not stressful and plan to keep it that way.

Looking forward to learning lots here!
