    Intro from Saskatchewan

    Hello all. Just joined, thanks for having me.
    Still learning about smelting & casting & have not yet attempted any.
    I have been reloading for rifle about 2 years. I only have bolt actions. I don't shoot competitively.
    I'm an instructor for hunter safety & firearms training.
    I'm a pastor, 25 yrs.
    2 adult sons & 1 adult daughter.
    7 grandsons & #8 due in 6 weeks.
    I'm really impressed with this site & look forward to learning from the expertise I've seen here.
    No mentor for the hobby, so basically on my own.
    Again, thanks for allowing me to join.

    Saskatchewan? Dang it, now I have to learn another language! Welcome aboard!
    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.
    John Taylor - "African Rifles and Cartridges"

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

    Thanks for the welcome. I probably won't post much, other than in the chapel, and thank you to all the knowledgeable posters here. I have much to learn.

    Welcome aboard! Just an FYI.....Bad Water Bill (BWB) is bilingual but you will know it when he types in his other language!
    "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same......." - Ronald Reagan

    "It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather, we should thank God that such men lived." - George Patton

    Nou U kutz dat oud.

    Yes sometimes we do have silly fun here.

    But believe me and my Girty, there is not a site with a bigger heart than this one.

    Rest assured you are not the only Pastor here.

    We claim to have a resident Missionary here, but since I can not tell a lie Mike is still on top of a mountain in Peru.

    Glad to know I'm not the only pastor with a firearms hobby. You wouldn't beleive the looks on some of the people from church when I 1st mentioned I was going to be a hunters-ed/firearms instructor. Think I would have gotten a more favorable response if I had said that Armageddon had started.
    Anyways, again, glad to be hear & get to know you.
    And as for BWB's other language.... iiiii got 2 nose whats is it?
