    Checking in from SE Wisconsin. I used to shoot and reload a lot when I was younger but spending time with my wife and kids became the priority. I built a lifetime of amazing memories and now the kids are adults I am starting to rediscover some of my old hobbies. Want to get in a bunch of reloading and shooting before the next big milestone in life... grandkids.

    I currently reload on a MEC 9000 for trap and sporting clays and will be picking up a Dillon XL650 soon for handguns and rifles. I figured I should find a reloading forum and dig through old posts for tribal knowledge. This looks like a great place to start!

    I I I I say sooonnn! Welcome aboard.

    You may even pick up the dirty habit of casting too from this place. It happened to me. I started looking and haven't shot a jacketed bullet, unless hunting elk, since 2012. Everything from 17HH to 50AE gets cast.

    Ask questions, share your knowledge, or just read the Stickies. Or check out the Tumblweeds saga stories by our late and great member Boza in Humor and Off topic.

    Not new, just been gone awhile. Been spending my cyber time at the WACA forum but I retired recently and have more time to fire up the pot and pour a few hot ones. I dropped by to do a little research and figured I’d say HI!

    Signed up in 2009 and only just now becoming active really. Been loading for years. Hanging out in Washington State hoping things start improving for those of us in the Evergreed State.

    New member just signed up this year making first post. Lurked on this forum for quite a while. Have been reloading for a while, and have thought about wanting to try my hand at casting. With the kids getting older now, I'm hoping that I'll be able to give it a try. If nothing else, there's tons of great reloading info here as well. Thanks!

    Howdy and welcome. Casting is a lot of fun, and easy once you get past the learning curve.
