Happy New Year from Central Pa!!

[DVLDOG6.5]

Greetings all,
I am a Former Marine, Family man, shooter and hunter. I grew up in Carroll County Md on the farm deer hunting and the occasional fox and raccoon. I am new to reloading and the long range precision game and anxious to learn as much as I can about all aspects of loading for precision, longer range hunting. I was never interested in predators until my wife approached me about wanting to #1 shoot long range and #2 going after predators and hogs. As you can imagine my enthusiasm after she said there was no interest in the deer woods for her!!!! But this oh yes! So now I lost half my loading room and half my mad money for building weapons to her which by the way is AWESOME( I think) lol!! I love my gas guns precision and protection. She is leaning more towards the bolt gunning, but she is happy with the builds I have done for her 6mmARC and .223 to start. I have and will be loading for 6.5 Grendel, 6.5 Creedmoor and .223 all Gas gun flavors. Hope to add a few UNITA precision bolt uppers to the family in the near future.

I look forward to meeting and learning from you all. Thanks for having me.

I learn something everyday after 50 years of shooting and 40 years handloading that's saying something. Thank you for your service and wishing you and your wife continued success !

I raced with Harvey at Cecil, MIR, Maple Grove, Beaver Springs and a few more tracks on the east coast.
He was instrumental in helping me tune my alcohol injection system.. him and his wife were good people..
