Hi All,
Just found your board, referred from Steve's Pages. Have been reloading for about 10 years, got into the sport late after I paid the last tuition on my youngest.
I competed in NRA Highpower  on an Army battalion level team from 1966-1967 but was on hiatus with college, medical school and family from 1967-1999. During that time I drooled over a lot of magazines and rented a pistol at the local indoor range a couple of times.
My main reason for expanding my internet connections with a new board is that during the recent component shortage I wound up holding a number of powders that  are short on published load data in the calibers that I load.
I presently load for 7.62x51 NATO, .30-06, 5.56 NATO, .303 Brit, 7.62x57 Mauser, and 7.62x54R.  I hope to start .250-3000 and 7.62x39 in the near future.
I will post my questions as they occur.
Regards, DocAitch
