    Hi new guy here

    Was told about this forum and decided to join. Been casting, loading for a few years and look forward to getting more knowledge.

    The knowledge is free you just need to bring the container for it.

    Knowledge is one of the few things that can be given away and kept at the same time.

    ^^^^^^ That is the "Siren's Song" and WHY we cast! ^^^^^^

    ...plus, the investment pays back many times over.

    I joined this site a year ago when I started casting bullets. It has been my most valuable resource and I am grateful to all here that have helped on my journey. Hope you enjoy your time here.

    You'll learn a lot, whether you want to or not.

    Guys, he's been 'casting and loading for a few years' - he's already hooked! This is where you come to get your addiction educated!

    Welcome aboard, but you are already down the rabbit hole of casting.
    One of the things I learned here is how much I didn't know about casting. I had to change some of the misconceptions I was taught by an old timer
    in my youth. Sometime change is good.

    Welcome aboard, part of the guidelines of being here is that you need to study, there will be a test on your 30th day and you will need to be able to recall without aid of refence any of the information from:

    Yep, you'll sure save money.

    Tee hee!

    Haha!

    Brahahahaha!!!!!
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    Learn something every time I come here (Every Day) Was sizing my 45 acp boolets to 451 And bumped to 452 as that was considered to be the optimal size by several other casters, The difference was amazing as far as accuracy, Go figure .001 would make that much difference! Welcome aboard!
