Hello from the Texas Panhandle!

Thank you for letting me join your community. I hope to learn much here, and be helpful in any way I can. I am currently loading for 20 different cartridges, both rifle and pistol. I am a fan of the 44 magnum, 45 Colt, 45 ACP, 10mm, 30-06, 280 Rem., 375 H&H Mag, and 7X57mm Mauser. I have been hand loading for ~ 23 years, and I am still learning new things all of the time. I have some decent equipment, but I am not a "equipment snob". If something works good for you, you should use it! I have equipment from most manufacturers, and I have had good and bad experiences with all kinds of tools. I am open to, and actively seek, advice on most everything I do in my shop. I can only advise through my own experience, and it does not hurt my feelings if someone chooses to ignore my advice. I usually do not offer unsolicited advice, but I will try to warn if I know something is dangerous, or grossly misrepresented. I wish I had found better advice before some of my "less than stellar" decisions on equipment purchases. I believe we all have parts, or gadgets, that we keep around to remind us to research more before we buy. I hope to learn much from the members of this community, and I am looking forward to the interactions with members of ATG! Thanks again for letting me be a part of your community!

Sincerely,

Jim
