I will love the Lord with all my heart, all my soul, and all my mind.
Now that is a great legacy to pass on. 21, 45acp and your first casting/reloading session is with Brass Magnet. How cool is that!!!!! Hey Ron, when are you going to open your boolit mold museum?
Well done grasshopper. Listen to the old man, like a sponge!
Exceptional. Isn't it fantastic to learn from the best? Your rounds look fantastic. You have done well plus. Unload them at the range and reload them then repeat. Ask lots of questions even if they seem inconsequential. GREAT Job.
VOTE, VOTE, VOTE often. In dealing with potential dishonesty or corruption, Something you might keep in mind is a revealing quote by S.W. Erdnase in his book The Expert at the Card Table "Almost every ruse in the game is more or less dependent upon another one."
Politicians are like babies diapers, they should be changed often and for the same reason. Mark Twain
Good job! I can't even remember back when I was 21 I'm pretty sure I was doing anything productive like casting and loading bullets...
Thanks, Dinny
I prefer peace. But if trouble must come, let it come in my time, so that my children can live in peace.

Good for you fore passing it on. Reloading depending on who you talk to is starting to decline. Many people don't want to be bothered.
Brass, Now you done it ! There is no turning back now!
Great job by the way.
That's a fine nephew that is off to a good start! I also bought my first firearm at 21, a Colt 1911 in Stillwater Ok, 1980. I still have the first box of ammo I cast and loaded in 1982. About 10 years later I brandished that .45 to save an old man's life the was being beaten on the roadside by two hippies with a baseball bat that had pulled him through his car window and out on the pavement. The old man had his 3 year old grand baby on the front seat.
HOLLYWOOD Collector Left hawg 405#, right one 315#, had my elderly neighbors granddaughter treed and why I got the call. Both charged, one from 20' and one from 40'. Thanks to the good Lord and Samuel Colt I won. May God bless our Lawmen & Soldiers!
