Reloading with oldmanFCSA

Postby dupa on Sun Mar 30, 2014 8:29 pm

so originally I just piggybacked on another review. but thought I'll just toss my own up here.

was out at dougs most of the afternoon today. and I'm glad I found someone willing to take the time to sit and walk through the process.. he explained each step and the reason for it and it really put all the pieces together for me. He made it easy to ask questions and had great examples to teach the finer points.

I was under the thought that I could figure it out.. and was hesitant to take the Doug up on his open offer in the forum. glad I did.. and I can't thank him enough for walking me through the process and sharing his knowledge, he truly has a passion for reloading and has built up quite a collection of equipment.

look forward to running out there again some weekend.

Thank you for the kind reviews, both of them.

I truly enjoy reloading and teaching reloading.
You are most welcome to return for more info, to tune up your RCBS setup, or to use my equipment including the Dillons.
Just give me some advance notice...........

I plan on taking up Doug's offer on helping me with my .223 reloads sometime this summer.

I was also thinking that "Old Man" might want to come over to my house to show me on my own reloading presses.
The coffee is always on at my place and after he schools me, we could head over the the Forest Lake Sportsmen's Club and do some serious shooting for the afternoon.

Let me know Sir!!

Sorry guys.

I've been spending too much time in the hospital again lately.

Eric, I don't drink coffee, never have.

Anyone, be sure to contact me in advance to verify the dates will work out.

My son and I were out at Oldman's today to shoot 50's. The goofy grin on my son's face after the first shot was priceless. Doug showed us around his place and we will be heading back soon for reloading instruction and shooting. A gracious host. I hope to learn a lot from him.

I look forward to getting up there sometime! Once I retire I'll have a lot more time, obviously.

just got back from Doug's a little while ago, wow what a wealth of knowledge. I probably learned more from the questions he asked me than what I asked him :D .He took the time to answer all questions I had and really made me think about his (watch out for trick questions :D )I'm glad he let me come over and will be asking him if I can come back to go over pistol loading some day and to see Murph the whispering/pointing basket hound. Thanks again Doug

I had the pleasure of being there at the same time as Barry and have to say anyone thinking about reloading should contact Doug first. Having not reloaded for about 25 years it was very comforting to have Doug help me set up my 550b for .40 S&W and show me the safe and proper way to load with it. It was great to take the freshly loaded rounds out back and test them out and is really nice to know that I can call or go visit again if new questions arise.
Murphy T is just a great dog and on my next visit I will definitely have to bring him some treats.
Nice meeting you today Barry and thanks again Doug for everything,

Thank you both for coming out today. It was rewarding for me also. Interaction with others brings up subjects that we all can learn from.
I sometimes ask questions of reloaders for which there is no correct answer, it generates great interaction laced with varied personal experiences.
MurphyT greated both with his normal exuberance, barking & howling upon their arrival, then pestering them to be petted, he loves having his floppy ears rubbed. If food or treats are present, a sit and whisper command are stated which upon proper action produces a treat. Sometimes the command is not required, as he lets you know he is ready for the next treat.
Lasers, do not use one, you will be howled at loudly, but he reacts more excitedly than most cats. And then looks at you before going on point looking for that red or green dot on the floor.

Overall, all had fun in a safe environment learning many new techniques for reloading safely and accurately. Thanks for coming out.
