Hi everyone , name is Bill and live in CT , 44 years old and started shooting about 15 years ago. First rifle was a savage 11 22-250 with thumb hole stock. With in a few years I started to reload for that rifle by reading all I could. the Internet was new to me so books was the way I taught myself to load. I love every aspect of this sport and love to help the new guy at the range or listen to to someone's experiences that they have learned from. Now I have several pistols and rifles but I'm a savage guy. Own a model 12 LRPV 223 with a 1/9 twist. Id like to thank all the people that make this site possible , from the staff to the member. Spring is here even though a nor'easter is coming this weekend and that means nice days at the range.
