    Autographed loading manual.



    I was at my parent's house doing some reloading with my father today and he showed me something that just blew mw away...

    He has a copy of a Hodgdon reloading manual that is autographed by the man himself. The inscription says...

    "Good Shooting, Bruce Hodgdon"

    It was given to my father years ago by his friend who knew Bruce Hodgdon personally.

    I thought, OMG, what a keepsake.


    Anyway, just thought I'd pass that on.
    Take care, Moptop

    I have had many autographed books on several unrelated subjects.
    Each and every one was a treasure.
    Savour it.
    It is indeed a treasure.
    My ex got mine in the divorce. She later tossed them out.
    It not only is a treasure of your family, it is a treasure by itself.

    Met Elmer on two different occassions 454, he was quite the character. Always had a half chewed-half smoked cigar in his mouth. He was at different gun shows in the 60's in the Baton Rouge area.
