I just went through the whole thing and, nope, I haven't added mine. I started reloading at 16 but didn't start casting until about 10 years ago. Add 10 makes it 3873.7.

Phineas Bluster, ya sure look like an honest man to me, and since Fishhawk is at hunting camp this week, you gets to be da man, with the best counting!
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!
3873.7+38=3911.7

I started casting for handguns in 1967 with a Lyman 356402 for my Astra 600 in 9mm Luger. So I guess that would be 41 years and I'm still learning. What a game!!!

Well I decided to throw in on this so here goes. 1971 was my start date learning to cast at a gun store in Baton Rouge ,La. I made extra money casting bullets for the customers to buy. I my math is ok thats 38 years ago. The new total would be 4125.7

I started casting in 1959 and I don't recall the month. Lets call my total as 49.3 years for a total of 4,185 which will get rid of that piece of a year.
New Total 4,185
Add my 16 to 4,185 for a new total of 4,201.
Thanks guys.
46 years. + 4,201= 4,247
I am wondering if a caster that is on this board who is probably making more mistakes than not would detract from the accumulation.
********This is not me, just a guy I know.************
As for me, I have been casting perfect boolits that shoot MOA since last August. So add my six months (I am rounding up) of experience to the list too. I have earned every day of it.
