    Introducing a new member

    Hey, fellas,
    how 'bout put your hands together and welcome Medic502 to the forum. He lives here in "Mayberry" with me and wants to learn about casting and handloading. He's a director for the Emergency Medical Services Dept. and is married to a very sweet lady and they have 4 head of young'uns.
    I'm gonna do my best to share with him all that I've learned from this forum and make my shop available to him.

    Medic502, this is Jim, copy?

    Welcome, Medic - if you can stand the hecticness (is that a word? Well, it is now...) of your profession, you may actually enjoy the laidbackedness (another...) that exists here 95% of the time, and the absurd amounts of knowledge available. Enjoy.

    Welcome to the asylum Medic502. Hmmmmm, we could use a medic around here from time to time.

    Medic502 You're going to like it here, good people, lots of real knowledge and advice to be had here. Be fore warned! This is HIGHLY addictive! Lead has been known to cause a complete lack of interest in TV, books, cars, fishin, painting the house, weedin the garden, mowin the grass, driving the wife home from having a baby, taking christmas lights down, eating dinner, or lunch and birthdays. Welcome!

    Welcome medic.
    On this site you'll find some of the sharpest casters, and the most cantankerous cusses anywhere; and all are willing to lend a helping hand when ask.

    Welcome, medic502. Basic warnings apply: Don't believe everything you read about cats and sheep, Watch out for the Group Buys forum unless you like living on Ramen Noodles, and this can be addictive. Upside is that there is a certified psycho-therapist available, downside is that he'll accept payment in wheelweights.....

    Don't be suckered by Wayne! He is an enabler!

    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.

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

    And yeah, you gonna learn a lot of new things here. (We are the worse enablers you'll find).

    P.S. When it comes to 'Lube Grooves', hit Waksupi up first. He's the resident 'PRO' on those.

    Well, Now that we have a Shrink and a Medic, we can attend our group enabling session and have our recent burns treated at the sametime.

    That said, welcome to the site, Medic502, the more the merrier, providing the bandwidth holds up.
