Hi, I was looking for information on handloading for the 6.5 X 257 Roberts when I found your handloading site. I live in a small town in N. Cal. and am a retired state firefighter. I enjoy doing some competive shooting with the local rifle clubs here. I reload for 30.06, 32spl, a few older military surplus rifles and 44 and 38spl. I also cast bullets for my favorite cartridge the 45-70. I also cast for my other firearms. After reading the background of the forum administrators I was happy to see this is a well run site. Looking forward to learning and contributing in the exchange of information.

Just what "older military surplus rifles" might you load for? Kind of a passion with me.
