Hello everyone
I am working on a reloading related project in the Austin, Texas area. I am looking to connect with the vast breadth of knowledge and experience for a very ambitious effort.
This online community has been & still is the PERFECT place to draw from for expertise in reloading, casting, swaging, powder coating, and beyond. The people I have had the pleasure of meeting via the forums have been exceptionally helpful, highly educational, and deeply committed to the art & science behind ammunition. I would like to return the favor I have been granted repeatedly by the members of this community.
In order to pursue that end, I need face to face conversations with reloading hobbyists & professionals who are in the central Texas / greater Austin area or are willing to travel here on their own dime for a meeting. I am working toward a goal I think everyone here can relate to, and would wholeheartedly support.
I am looking for folks who:
Have experience running progressive reloading presses such as the Dillon Super 1050
Are familiar with automation such as the Ponsness / Warren autodrive
Have experience high volume reloaders is a big plus (AmmoLoad Mark L, Corbin CHP-1 HydraSwage, etc)
Repeatedly have shown a predisposition to teaching & mentoring new reloaders/casters
I am particularly interested in retirees looking for something fun to do. And, special consideration will absolutely be afforded any military veterans who have applicable mechanical / machining experience.
I realize I am being a bit cryptic, to be sure. All will be made plain shortly - we are still in the preparation phase, but we're getting close enough that I can begin talking about it under the right circumstances.
I'm organizing this group to unveil my project to. We will not be trying to sell you anything. In fact, I'll be asking you to sign a non-disclosure agreement if you would like to participate in the discussion. Timing for the event is to be determined, as is the exact venue. My goal for this forum thread is to determine how large of a group we can anticipate.
My thinking is that we'll feed you a nice meal & reveal what we've been working on. I am looking for feedback & opinion about the project, of course. It'll be probably 3-4 hours all told, so you'll have time to do other things while in the Austin area, if you wish.
We'll also provide free brass as a thank you for your participation.
Please let me know who is interested.
Thank you,
