    I'd say you've had the adventure of a lifetime while you were away. Welcome back.

    It certainly seems like it has been a lifetime! I can't tell you guys how glad I am to be back and find that things haven't changed a bit, still familiar faces and same great attitude. Having to adjust a bit to the powder coated world and trying to figure out where I fit in on that angle since it all came about after I left!

    We are blessed to have healthcare at both of our jobs, and that I get retirement benefits (matched up to 3%) and have been able to start saving up. It adds up quick when I'm clocking 85-90hr a week in the summertime and they are also kicking some in!

    Welcome back!
    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!
