Started in 92, when my uncle gave me a pacific 105 shotshell reloader. Got into rifle loading in 00 when my father in law gave me a single stage pacific press, and all of his accy. After asking both of them, it turns out they were
both purchased the same year. 1976. Funny thing, I was born in 76. Even if I do upgrade to bigger better equipment, I'll always want to load on these.
I always keep in mind when either reading, or responding to any questions, or opinions on this forum that as shooters, and reloaders, we need to encourage people to ask questions, and share their knowledge. When it comes to shooting, hunting, and reloading, the more people interested the better.
Egos, and the internet seem to go hand-in-hand, so it will happen, I just take it with a grain of salt. I have learned alot on this forum, and appreciate the experience of everyone here. I remember the day I got my pilots licence, the DE told me you have a licence to learn. The same goes with anything else in life, you will learn more from your own mistakes, than any teacher can ever hope to ingrain in your small and short memory. I tell all of my students the same thing. All you can do is try to share your own mistakes (shrouded in the mystery of someone else did this) and try to give good advice. Those who ignore caution, and take their own path, will either get lucky, and learn, or go the way of the dodo. There are old pilots, but, there are no old, bold pilots. flyboy
