I was doing a web search for loading handgun shotshells and found a thread that brought me to The Handloaders Bench. I looked around some and like what I saw. It was refreshing to read so many posts from knowledgeable people who obviously enjoy handloading and don't come off as the "armchair experts" so prevelent on many firearm related sites. I'm generally pretty "Quiet" but sincerely look forward to being part of the group. I've been handloading since 1968, although I did take some time off now and again while in the military and raising a family. For me, handloading has always been the kind of activity where "the more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know". That and it's just a whole lot of fun.

Seems that I continually learn a lot from the previous poster as well. Some can only aspire.
