Hello from West of the Blue Hole

[TheMoose]

Just joined the forum recently after making my first order for Hammer bullets. I'm a crusty(or cranky) old dude from Indiana. Been shooting and reloading for 59 of my 75 years. I am(or was) an avid hunter, now slowing down due to Father Time and wear and tear. One thing that I haven't slowed down on yet is wanting to learn and make my equipment perform better. I hope to gain knowledge from many of you and perhaps I can help someone out too.... mostly from what the category of "what not to do"...born a Hoosier and raised by an old coal miner(grandfather) I was told early on "boy you were born behind the barn door when the brains were being passed out!" I took that to heart, and have been trying to learn ever since then. I've got a couple projects that I'm working on and can use some guidance, but will probably wait to try to find similar info in forum threads before bothering you guys with unnecessary questions.

Kindest regards,

TheMooose
