    Cast Boolits / GunLoads 1 Year Anniversary

    I believe it was 3-18-05 when I started hosting this place. So it's almost been 1 full year that Gun Loads joined up with Cast Boolits. It's been a fun year and I hope everyone has enjoyed this place as being their home.

    Willy, we can not thank you enough. Pushing towards 1500 members, in such a short time, is astounding!

    Congratulations. I am proud to be a member and share the knowledge this community has to offer. I would not hesitate for a minute to steer a new caster (or wannabe) here......I feel I have some knowledge on this subject as a 25 year caster but I know that there is a lot more that I do NOT know than there is that I do know.........anyhow, thanks for a wonderful resource!!!

    Happy Anniversary Master Willy.
    Your efforts have made a difference in many lives, and I thank you for all that I have learned and the new friends that I have made here. When you open a new door, you never know what you will find on the other side - I found a whole world.

    Wow,,has it really been a year? I so miss having the hiccups and membership issues to work out I guess I missed the anniverary party ! I do believe that taking you up on your offer to host CB was on my all time list for the smartest things I have ever done,sitting proudly at number 1 on that list. Having Gunloads backing CB took us to another tier of respectability and stability and for that I am in your debt. Many,many thanks for the past year and a long future together in our ventures. Success comes to those that seek it and take the steps to make it their own,may Gunloads and Cast Boolits be one of those steps for all of us.

    Willy & Ken,
    Thanks for providing such an informative forum.
    Contributers deserve a round of applause as well.
    I've been reloading and casting for some 30 years now, and the wealth of shared knowledge found here is amazing.

    Well,,I took on a 2nd job as the membership director at the Specialty Pistols forum,and between thost two,work and buying guns... I stay busy

    Reallly though,,,Cast Boolits continues to exceed my goals and with Willy's help and assistance its climbing popularity seems entirely manageable.
    The aimoo forum was certainly a step,but the Gunloads association has been quite beneficial.
    I can only continue to follow the path of the Silver Stream...thanks to all of the members in joining our journey forward.

    Ken Is still the head honcho around here. I'm just the guy that helps to keep things running smooth and answering questions. The past year has just been great, and I look forward to many more.

    Ken and Willy, many thanks for your time and effort.
    Ken, BTW another 40x40+10 with the 30-30 and CB's. I used the 155 Harris GB boolit, it was shooting better than the RCBS 165. I did let a FLGC shooter take me in the shoot off though............. I have plans to take care of that situation directly!
