[QUOTE="eddybo, post: 200675, member: 7194"] Lewis, You oughta meet Mr. Don he is a real character. I think if he could find 40 lbs of the old GI powder and 10k old euber bullets he would still be racking up HOF points. He got all of his points in a 9 year period. I doubt anyone will ever gather more points in such a short period. His house is like a shrine to accuracy. With numerous world records hanging in his reloading room and pictures of all of the great shooters that he was friends with adorning the place it is a history lesson for any shooter. I saw his name on Nesika's website one day and was going to give him a call but forgot about it. As luck would have it I met him at a restuarant by pure chance and didnt realize who he was until after I had received an invitation to come shoot with him. That chance meeting turned into a good friendship despite the 30 year age difference. He is one of the greatest guys I have ever met. I have learned so much from him in the past year that sometimes I feel I should be paying tuition. Sorry if that was more than you wanted to know about the old goat but I guess I am feeling a little meloncoly today. He told me that he is going to quit traveling to BR matches and only shoot the local circuit. BTW on a brighter note he started shooting long range a couple years back. His first ever 600 yard group measured .890 ctc (that was with a gun he built that is for sale on this forum right now, Rbelotes 6mm Stolle). He still kicks butt in ARG (rimfire benchrest for group) and set 3 or 4 new ARG world records this year, so I guess the ragin cajun will rage on a while longer. I bet that if he sets his mind to it and catches some good conditions that he is going to set a f-class record before he quits that too. I wouldnt be surprised if he pulls off a 600-60x, and if he does I will feel that no one deserves it more. [/QUOTE]
