    I'm certain there are, they just haven't spoke up yet. I will say this, we'd be blessed to have pile more in your age group join in. We've got a lot to share and help teach, but seemingly no one wanting to learn.

    Wolfdog did you used to post on Handloads.com ? I remember reading posts over there from a guy that knew snakes.

    I'm still 25 years old in my mind, but my old body and eyes tell me otherwise.

    Well,,,,, if there is, they'd probably all fit in a old VW bug.

    Wouldn't care to be 25 again, but 45 would do.

    I wouldn't swear they're under 25, but I've got a couple of nephews that drop in now and then.

    I've love to be in my early 20s again. There wasn't much money in my pockets, but I sure was still able to have fun. I think I was 23 when I took my first motorcycle trip out west (5 day round trip from MN, to the WY Big Horns), the next year, the same friends and I went all the way to the Pacific coast on a 2 week trip...Oh the memories!

    I sort of remember being 25, that is when I moved to NM. That's been a while! I had been casting bullets for 16 years by then.

    Chronologically, I'm 65. But I've always been a very immature person, and still have eighteen year old moments.

    Wolfdog, I love your posts, and having you around. I'd say that you are pretty unique for your age group in general, but you seem very similar to how many of us were at your age. A lot of us around here were born a hunnert years too late, and maybe you're one of them also. jd
    It seems that people who do almost nothing, often complain loudly when it's time to do it.

    I remember back then. Spring break in Florida and then a week at Hedonism in Jamaica. Now that was fun.

    I'm 25, or at least I act like it some days. This year I have 51 years experience at being 25 which puts me in a very awkward position as I have a soon to be 23 year old granddaughter. Guess I may have to grow up at least a little.

    I'm just a little older than 25, at 26. I got started last august with all this so I guess that counts for something! Still learning and improving every chance I get!

    I've gotten into casting, despite the shortage of easy to find lead. Either way I'm reloading for around $12 a box in this ammo crunch, so that counts for something!

    25 years old was a LONG time ago. I have grand kids who are in their 20s, but I'm sure there are several folks in that age group who have been shooting, casting, and reloading for about as long, if not longer than I have
