1000 Years Of Experience

[wvcardsfan]

With all of the experience represented by the members of this board, I'll bet that coming up with a millenium of reloading history would be an easy thing to do. 10 years here, 20 years there, with the occasional 40 or 50 years thrown in. It would be fun to see how quickly we might get to 1000 years and beyond. Just enter the number of years you've been at it.

[cfullgraf]

Boy, I’m a “newby” with just 40 years.

I started reliading in 1980.

 

[sfl_gunner]

5 years that’s basically nothing around these parts.

 

[denton]

1976 for me, so 44 years.

My neighbor was helping me get started. He swore that Sierra hollow points were optimum for deer. And he was still cussing about one that blew up on contact, taking out a large chunk of deer hide and leaving a very lively deer that ran off.

 

[Project355]

[mstreddy]

1989ish - 31 years for me

 

[PapaG]

Sixty-four years, starting in 1956 with a Lyman TruLine Jr press, 45 Colt dies, a two cavity 454190 mould and a Coleman Stove. Now, I won't begin to list how much crap I've accumulated. Use 10% of it.

 

[jags]

44 years for me.

 

[kelbro]

47 years. My first centerfire was a Savage 25-20 and I could not afford to buy much factory ammo so I had to load it myself.
