Wicky - been with me since I was a kid. Like most people just my last name shortened with a 'Y' stuck on. Very Australian!! And not to original, seems the brain may not be too quick out of the starting blocks.

I used to be a fieldworker for a dictionary that draws much of its information from interviews. If the dictionary quotes a remark added by a fieldworker, it follows it with FW Addit, which stands for "fieldworker addition." There were many FWs who made Addits, but I am probably the only one who adopted the notation (with the space deleted) as a forum handle.
Mine is because of my addiction to the 22 Hornet.... actually, the K-Hornet.
First time my wife saw me writing on a board, she said.... "why are you calling yourself Horneyguy?" I told her to look closer..then had to explain it to her.
Yes, she's a blonde.
"ruger" 'cause I'm fairly partial to the brand, and "dude" 'cause I really enjoyed Dean Martin's role in Rio Bravo. Anyway, it made sense to me at the time!

Better Dude's role than Angie Dickenson's. I thought she was pretty hot. Gianni

I agree, but to be charitible, let's just say that her acting improved over time.
As far as I'm concerned, the two best parts of the movie are the jail house concert with Dean and Ricky Nelson and the scene where they use dynamite to rout the bad guys.

I could not sign into the forum with my original name and could not remember my password.
So I went to a different email address and tried 4 or 5 different names that were rejected. I had just received back from the factory my new Freedom Arms model 97 with a .38 special cylinder I tried it and it worked.

I've been called "Uncle R." by many in my extended family for years. Lotsa nieces and nephews since I was a young man and "Uncle R." just rolls off the tongue easier than "Uncle Rudy." I needed a handle that I would remember - and there it was.
jim4065 was assigned by Kazaa, back in my old pirating days. Had JIM547 on another file sharing program, but there ain't no cool to it. Can't remember other handles so I pretty much stick with this one for everything. When my ship comes in I'm gonna grab a Sharps in 40-65 Winchester.

WILDCATT was my CB handle
WILDCATT
44 years ago I was in 1st Battalion, 12th Marines, an artillery unit. Our call sign at the time was "Dark Pistol". The colonel was "Dark Pistol 6" or just referred to as the 'six', XO was "Dark Pistol 5", and on through the subordinate portions, down to "Dark Pistol 26C", the naval gunfire spotter, which was me. It is pronounced "Dark Pistol two-six charlie", so I kept my call sign for a handle. I also had a FO team from 'B' Battery, so I had a call sign "Dark Pistol Bravo 3". The "Dark Pistol" got changed reasonably often, the battery assignment changed with every operation, but the 26C was always the Naval Gunfire Spot Team.
I took my name from a rifle that I had and wish I'd never of sold.
I cast the Lee 155gr LRN bullet for my G17. Straight WW and 2.7 gr HTG ahead of WWSP primers. 825 FPS and PF 127. I plan to get back into IDPA shooting when we thaw out here in NH.
I got this handle from my grandfather because I was always reading my great grandfathers diary. He was a meat hunter for the railroad in the late 1860's. The name just stuck.
Buffalo Hunter,
I live in Kansas and have always found the Great Buffalo Hunt to be a very
interesting time period. You should consider scanning in or perhaps typing
out your great grandfather's diary and either posting on a web site, or some
other method to get the story available to those historians (amateur and
professional) that are interested in that sort of thing. Not only the whole
lifestyle and process, but especially the cartidges, reloading by a campfire,
the guns used, etc. is all very interesting to me, and (I think), to others.
You might even find a certain web site that is concerned with old cartridges
and boolits that might provide a place to post it.

If it was easy, anybody could do it.
