Hello all, I shoot just about everything from pistols, rifles and shotgun. Everything I own is modern, and with the exception of a Perazzi I keep as a safe-queen, everything gets shot.

Been reloading some forty plus years and moved into precision hand loading ten or fifteen years ago. (Which means most of my equipment just got more expensive). I enjoy the handloading part so much that I tend to buy new rifles, set them up the way I want them and spend a lot of time and effort on load development; once I think I've done my part, knowing the rifle can still probably shoot better than me, I go and buy a new rifle and start all over again.

In the past two years I’ve gotten hooked on the 6.5 Creedmoor. Funny that it started with a Gen 1 Ruger Precision Rifle, next the Savage 110 Elite Precision, and an Aero Precision Solus Competition and darned if I didn’t just buy a new Gen 2 RPR – All in 6.5CM. Next on the list, if my research pans out is a MasterPiece Arms PMR 6.5 CM.

I’m a veteran, started my career in Mechanical Engineering, returned to school for a Masters in Computer Science and retired in 2020. I belong to two private ranges, only one has a 1,000 yard target. Most of my shooting is on BLM land an hour and half away, but I go there every other Sunday – weather permitting.

I am also a Moderator on another Firearm’s forum. Thanks for having me.
