Hello to all,

I joined your group in hopes of learning something and to ask a few questions.

I reload most standard calibers as well as 50 caliber but really enjoy wildcats like the .17 Ackley Bee and the 219 Donaldson. Get a kick out of making up the brass for a wildcat..

I am into smaller calibers as opposed to the larger ones as I mostly kill paper targets and a woodchuck or two.

Have built a few guns from scratch ( 2-- 50 caliber rifles) and have a couple semi auto conversions of machine guns in 9mm.

I am always into learning new things and want to work on more wildcats.

Scooter, Welcome to HB. We've got a few wild catters on here with some pretty neat stuff. In fact there is a thread out here that's been running for quite a while. Check out the link below. Rockydog

Welcome to the forum

Ask all the questions you want, learning is up to you, but enjoying learning about reloading is what we are all about.

Again, welcome,

Welcome scooter, you will find a wealth of information here and any question you have I am sure someone will answer it quickly.

It looks like you will have good information on a few calibers!
