    Tell us more about yourself.

    What do you shoot with? What would you like to shoot with?

    Why do you shoot? Where do you shoot? Where would you like to shoot? What would you like to shoot?

    Have you fallen down the reloading rabbit hole? Are you wanting to?

    You'll get lots of advice here.

    Welcome aboard
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    hi cyclops
    as you can probably tell from my name i have a 338 lap magnum witch means yes i have fallen down the rabbit hole of reloading... its been an interesting journey learning all the ins and outs etc but its left me wanting more guns to reload for as i find it quite enjoyable. im thinking a 7mm rem mag next... i shoot with many different guns but my main ones are a sako finnlight in 7mm-08. Ruger precision in 338 lapua magnum and beretta A400 12g.
    i shoot for sport, pest control and to fill the freezer, recently just taken 98 kg of duck breast to get made into salami, mixed a bit of old stag in there too. i shoot in a few spots, ducks and goats in the Waikato, deer and ducks in Palmerston north and recently deer in north canterbury. i would love to go and take some thar and chamios at some stage.

    Welcome and great to read your more detailed intro. Sounds like you're a relatively seasoned hunter already.
