Another Fudd for the Forum

[grandpamac]

Greetings All,
I am another Government certified old codger living here in sunny Hawkes Bay, a bit too sunny for my liking lately. I got the hunting bug in 1963 when I walked into Makino Hut with my father and Uncle Hec. Uncle Hec was into hunting and was one of the crew from Napier Deerstalkers that built the hut. On the way out I spotted two sika, quite close but my uncle, who had the only rifle couldn't spot them due to the scrub. I never was much of a hunter but got quite interested in handloading, especially the technical side, which is now my main interest. I still get out for the odd hunt, mid week of course, and see the odd deer from time to time. Also did a bit of target shooting with the Deerstalkers although was not all that flash at that either.
As far as the handloading side goes I am one of Mickey Ducks anal handloaders that delights in detail and works up light loads for some old soldiers (rifles that is). I am lucky enough to have a home range on our small block out to 200 metres so zeroing and chronographing can be done here when conditions suit rather than put up with what you get on range days. I joined the Forum a few months back out of interest and hope to learn from it. Perhaps I can pass on some of what I have learned over the years as well.
Regards Grandpamac.
