Husband, dad, general contractor, christmas tree farmer, welder-fabricator. Do a little gunsmithing on the side. Mostly for family. Started helping my dad reload when I was big enough to polish brass by hand. Probably bout 38 years ago. My 5 year old son can just about reload if everything is already set up. Just love hunting, shooting, fishing, trapping, camping, anything in the outdoors the Good Lord made for us to enjoy. God Bless, Louis | |||

Wow do I feel under qualified at about everything after reading this forum!!  I am a lowly truck driver. I haul milk ,cream, whey, beer, wine, Louisiana Hot Sauce, and just about anything else you can fit in a food grade tanker. Baby's gotta have milk right LOL!! Been loading 10 years. Ever since I bought my first rifle w/ my graduation money. I bought a M70 winchester push feed in .270. That rifle shot sub-moa w/ lots of different bullets. I put a 6-18x on it and it was my Deer/Varmint rifle for a few years till I started making a little more money for other toys. | |||
