    Okay folks, fair warning...

    If you weren't aware of it, I retired from gun writing a while back. Done. Fini. Kaput.

    As a result, I'm going to allow my webpage ---> removed due to virus after expired <--- to expire when my hosting agreement is up in October. You have 90 days to download and save anything you want from it (for personal use only, it's still copyrighted) because after Oct 5, it's gone.

    Note: the page doesn't display properly in Internet Exploder, another reason why I'm killing it. Use Firefox or Chrome to view it.

    I'm making what amounts to a clean break from shooting. Sold most of my guns and reloading gear and haven't pulled a trigger in over a year. As a result, I don't expect to be posting again, but I'm deeply honored by the compliment.

    Adios, friends.

    Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

    No need to run off, Rocky. We still talk about dogs, tractors, moonshining, and lots of other stuff here!
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    Bummer. Hope you get the urge again Rocky, and if you don't, thanks for all the choice stuff. Well done sir.

    Wow, seems like something I never would hear! You will be missed for the calm and logic you brought to load development help whenever I or anybody else asked! I hope you might get the itch again someday and join us here again.

    Please take care in life's travels from here on out.

    Rocky....Thanks for the contributions you have made to the sport and craft of handloading for they have been significant.

    Being a student of human nature, I always wonder why folks made big changes in their lives, for there is always a reason. But that is your business, so I will just wish you well in your journey down the path of life.

    I hope everything is ok, Rocky. Your contributions to the shooting sports and reloading, of course, have been extraordinary.

    I'll miss your posts here, Rocky, and your spirit.

    All the best to you in all future endeavors of every sort.

    We all have different seasons in our life. Sounds like you are going into another season. As you know, don't burn any bridges because you may want to come back this way. Thank you for all your choice input. I am among the group wishing you well and hoping your journey brings you back this way again.
