[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2728168, member: 75451"] I had to learn it all by myself…..my Daddy hunted very little, never owned a centerfire rifle, nor did he handload. He did however, support me with my shooting/hunting dreams. I had an uncle, that I saw very little, but listened to his stories and saw videos (from the late ‘50’s early ‘60’s) of his hunting trips out west! I was only about 5 or 6 when I saw him and a couple of his cousins reloading 30-06’s. I was a gun nut even then, seeing this…..I knew what my future would be. I bought my first centerfire rifle @ 14 (a Win. Model 88 in .308 Win.) and was loading with a Lee Loader at 15. I shot it a lot back then, it still has the hard, plastic butt plate. I didn’t know anything else. Never put a recoil pad on a firearm until around 1982ish with my first .375 H&H. It really didn’t need it…..but did help some on felt recoil. Now I shoot a rifle with much more felt recoil than that old .375…..it’s got a nice, soft Pachmyar, but I draw the line at muzzle brakes! I’ll either handle the recoil or take up golf, or maybe get a CM…..There really isn’t much difference! 😉😁 memtb [/QUOTE]
