    I did it, now I’m hooked!

    This week I cast, powder-coated, and shot my own boolits—I’m so hooked now! I still have much to learn, but with the great help from this forum I’m well on my way!

    Congrats.
    Nice looking all the way around.
    I HATE auto-correct

    Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.

    My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.

    Congrats! They look great! Yea . . . you're hooked . . . but the best part is that you have the personal satisfaction of doing it all yourself . . . nothing feels any better than the feeling of knowing you can "do it all". Good luck to you and enjoy!

    Dang Capt, you're looking like a pro. Welcome to the lead boolit mafia! The best part of this little endeavor is you don't have to depend on politicians or viruses to get some great shooting ammo. Just wait until you take a game animal with your own boolits...you'll REALLY be hooked then.
    IT AINT what ya shoot--its how ya shoot it. NONE of us are as smart as ALL of us!

    Casting and reloading is a never ending book when you find the answer to a question it leads to more questions .

    Good grief, another caster and powder coater to boot!

    Better buy up powder coat, it will be the next hoarded material right after lead!

    LOL!

    Welcome to the addiction! Hope your stay is long and productive!
