I was wondering just how many years experience are piled up on this board. I started casting in 1973. So, I guess that makes 34 years for me.
Keep adding your years to the total as we go, and let's see what we end up with. Newbies, your week or months count just as well in this!
34 + 40=74
74 + 26 = 100
I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.
74 +26 + .5 = 100.5!

100.5+15=115.5

Bullets= Machine made utilizing Full Length Gas Checks as to provide projectiles for the masses.

115.5 + 43 = 158.5

There is no such thing as too many tools, especially when it comes to casting and reloading.

Safe casting and shooting!

158.5 + 20.0 = 178.5
Can't put an exact date on when I started casting, but can safely say at least 20 years back.

178.5 + 16 = 194.5
Not bad for just 8 of us. That's an average of almost 25 years per. I bet the overall board average is closer to 30-35, since geezers like carpetman will skew the average.
158.5 + 40.1 =198.6
198,6+59=257.6

1979-2007=28 +198.6=226.6

266.6+35= 301.6
And they say lead is poisonous!
Looks like Murphy and fatnhappy were posting while Carpetman crunched numbers. Total should be 337.6
337.6 + 31 = 368.6
368.6 + around a half year = we'll call it an even 369 years!
369 + 36 = 405
Proud member in the basket of deplorables.
I've got the itch, but don't got the scratch.
405 + 27 = 432 In'n I can do my "rithmatic properly
432 + 1 = 433

433 + 38 = 471
