Finally met one of the group!

AZ-Stew came by the house to give me some trial boolits for my 25-06, that he'd casted and heat treated himself, thank you very much!
I saw him, and first thought - mountain man! Here's a guy who would fit into a prospectors mould from the 1860-1880s, casting his own balls over a campfire for his blackpowder rifles and pistols to hunt game with the next day. The wife was favorably impressed as well.:-D
And also a very nice guy, wish he could have stuck around a bit longer...but happy to meet him.:drinks:

I have GOT to quit 'reading between the lines' in an attempt to better understrand what a member has to say.
This is what I got from doing that...

Great Scott....no, he's big, big white beard, and friendly. Santa Claus with a rifle.

[AZ-Stew]

I cast them over a fire once. Yanked them back right quick! :o Hot, hot hot!

It was nice to meet Dave and his wife (and dogs!). Great folks! I needed a short trip out of town to rearrange the city-toasted brain cells. Had to get back to see the end of the Cards game.

Regards,

Stew
