[smilie=s:Howdy folks. I’ve been floatin’ around here for a few weeks and decided to join.
A little bit about myself. My name is Dennis, but my real close friends call me Hickory. I live in northwest Ohio and am retired. I’ve been shooting since 1967, reloading since 1968 and casting my own since 1968.
The calibers I shoot are few, they are 223 rem., 7x57,, 30-30, 32-20, 32 mag., 38-55. 45-70, 44 mag. I cast for all except the 223. However, I do swage boolits* for the 223. So, there you have an outline about me and I’ll let you fill in the blank as I post here in the future.

* I like that term.

You found a good place and are welcome (If you can put up with me!) :mrgreen:
Shouldn't you be called "buckeye"? I am originally from Ohio and hung out at Resthaven wildlife area for all my varmint hunting, Port Clinton, etc for fishing. Used to go to East Harbor and bow hunt carp, nothing for us to shoot 1000#. Spent a lot of time at Delaware too.
Where are you located?

Wecome aboard! Wait a second....if you're retired, shouldn't you be called "Old Hickoy"? How 'bout that......we've got a decendant of Andy Jackson with us!:mrgreen:

Seriously, this is probably the best site going. Great folks, lots of info and help, and a lot of gentle kidding between members who are all in the same hobby. Ask a question here and you'll get many answers and solutions from people who have "been there".
