I'm Hud (an obscure nicknane for Richard). I'm in central Cal.
I had been hanging out on a couple of Mauser forums, but wound up here looking for info. on an 1870 Uruguayan Rolling Block. Hooked up with Vic303 in the Great State of Texas, who has the twin to my rifle. Thanks to all on that thread for your help. As a result, I am going to get the dies and components to get the old smoke pole fired up again.
My primary arms are Mauser pattern rifles, altho I have others too numerous to mention here.
I got into reloading because my Son and I have several Mausers between us.
Besides the 8mm, I load .30-06, .308, .300 Savage, .30-30 Win., and soon .43 Spanish.
I am on the pm side of 61 and not married (any more). I've been de-primed twice, and I don't think my old brass could take another full length resizing.
GREAT SITE! I have felt comfortable and welcome here since I came on board.
Regards, Hud
