I like the refreshing don't B.S. anyone attitude. I am kind of new to the form thing. I never liked the outright lies and airs that so many people put on in the on line communities.

I'm a shipping and receiving manager for a nation wide retailer. 

I  have been reloading for around 20 years. Started with a 2nd hand lee loader in 38/ 357.  It was all I could afford at the time. I have moved up since then and have a Dillon 550 and a Rock Chucker. I still have the lee loader to remind me that new isn't always better. I currently load for 27 calibers.

I found this site while looking for load data for 8x57 Mauser for a Yugo M48a . I have just recently gotten my C&R and became interested in the surplus arms. I have also just started my 1st. sporterizing project. I am building a 35 Whelen on a Turk Mauser receiver. I have quit a few production arms and wanted to do something new with the sport.


That's me in a nuts shell. I look forward to talking and sharing info with many of you.

Ralph

P.S. I never had an interest in spelling and gramer. These are skills I never developed.
