I've been reading this site for a few years, off and on. We finally got something more than dial up where I live and I figured it was time to join. As long as the hamster keeps turning the wheel I have a connection!
I started bullet casting back in the mid '80's. Used a ladle and a Lyman mold. Then a couple of years later me and a buddy splurged and got a H&G 68 and a Saeco pot.
I ended up with a job that required me to move every 3-12 months and never to the same place twice. A couple of years ago I had a problem on the job and I'm no longer able to work.
I had always liked Texas so I settled here after I retired. Moved far enough out in the country to make me happy. I live a few minutes from a private gun club so I have a good place to shoot.
My buddy passed a decade or so back, man how time flies! I ended up with the Saeco and the H&G. I had to give up the casting due to the job. But I'm back!
I've been picking up some molds here and there and a new RCBS pot. I'm having the time of my life!
I discovered powder coat and Hi-Tek and I'm using both, mainly Hi-Tek. I was using the Lee sizing dies then discovered the NOE stuff. Like the NOE stuff so much that I bought a Star sizer.
That's about it.
