Hello gang,

I'm a long time lead shooter / bullet caster / handloader just getting into higher powered rifles.

This is a great site, full of good information and helpful members. I'm looking forward to interacting here and learning as I go.

Thanks for the greetings, fellas.

I'm right between Philly and Allentown, near a burg called Collegeville.

I'm shooting a Savage in 7mm-08 and a CZ in .204. Those two seem to cover most of the bases...

Ian, I'm just getting started with LR stuff.

Here's my post about upgrading my 7mm-08. Fine accuracy and reduced recoil are what I'm after: Seeking accuracy and recoil reduction in 7mm-08 rifle

One of my ranges has a 200 yard backstop; once I finish putting this rifle together and shooting tight (-1") at 200, I'll look for ranges with greater distances available to shoot and maybe beginner competition.

My son died a few years ago. He was just a teenager. I gave up hunting and many other things. This is my first step into an activity that I feel any motivation to do. It's become something of an obsession, as direly needed distractions can.
