New to the forum

Figured I'd drop in and say howdy. Been reloading over 50yrs now, casted a bit some years ago, then got into it seriously a few years back. I'm a bit of a single shot nut, but do have a couple of those re-peater types that hardly ever get shot. My favorite is a Martini with a P. O. Ackley barrel that I built back in '69 chambered in 30/40AI. Shot jacketed for years, now moved over to cast with it, just seems more fittin'. Shooting the RD165, GC, and the NOE 310-180 also GC. Still stays inside 1" at 100. My other favorite is a Cadet that was .357Mag when I got it, it's now a Max using the RD190gr PP. Tons of fun! I'll be back later to talk about some of the others I push lead thru. I don't post much, mainly visit so I can learn. GW

KHornet, I do believe I was just called an "old f--t" which I am not. I am properly termed a "curmudgeon" which by definition actually is an old f--t, but one with an extensive vocabulary and a p--- poor attitude. So there. Wonder how many more there are on the forum. GW

Well then, welcome from one curmudgeon to another! There's at least two self-identified curmudgeons on this forum.

Always sort of considered the term curmudgeon to be a sort of a refined term. Have
been called same, but prefer old f--t, as it has sort of a more homey sound. But then
and again, what's in a name.

I think I'm barely to B.O.B. status.
I too recognize the handle, and hope G.W. chimes in on many threads.

I wouldn't say that I'm "old", but most cars my same age are collectible--and kinda pricey. Welcome aboard, Goatwhiskers.
