    TIme to say Hi.

    Having perused the forums here over the past months/years I have finally signed up. have been a very keen and active hunter, wildcatter and reloader since I was 16 until I was forty-something and then got distracted with a business venture that took all of my time. Then got sidetracked by 90's BMW e-36 race cars which proved quite spendy. I have since re-kindled my rifle passion and dusted off the collection and am looking forward to teaching my young son how to use thundersticks and how to put meat on the table. Have always been a 7mm and 30 cal fan and had one of the first 7mm/08's in Nz built by Din Collings back in 1982 or so. Also have used 284 win, 308, 300 win, and some big cal wild cats over the years. Find bigger barrel holes less fussy to clean . A bit surprised and bummed out by the current reloading component supply shortages and price hikes. The fact you cant buy primers for love or money is a mind f@ck...Never saw that coming.... Anyway guys thanks for the great source of info to be had here. Cheers

    Thanks guys. Have managed to buy the rocking horse doo doo dies I was hoping to find. It seems this forum is a great place for rare and unusual components. Glad for the help.
