Hello from M/S PR Of Ca

Post by Fat Albert »

Hello I'm Jim, AKA Fat Albert. I live in Ca between LA and Lost Wages. The "M/S PR of Ca" stands for Marxist/Socialist Peoples Republic of California " Hale" Are Comrade/Governor Jerry Brown. I have been reloading from the late 50's. Safety is my main though in reloading. I still have both eyes and all my fingers. I have a Lee Classic turret that I uses for 99% of my loading w/ten sets of dies. I have an old cast iron C/H press that I use for heavy duty sizing. I have one of the little Lee Alum. bench presses that I bought when Midway had them on sale for $14. Its it sets for popping primers w/ a Lee deprimeing die. I also uses a Lee hand nut cracker press to seat bullets at the range. I have the Stoney Point system for checking OAL and headspace for everything that I load. I worked part time at a indoor pistol range for a 1 1/2yrs while I was going to JC and learned to not trust anyone handling a loading gun behind my back. Joined Army in late 60's and went to Small Arms Training School @APG repaired & shot everything from 1911 45 to 50cal spotting rifle for the 106mmRR. Sent to artillery unit at OK(why ???) Shot every thing from 105 to 175mm. Went to EOD school at Indianhead Md. Went back to EOD unit at Ft Sill for 6months and then to EOD unit in Germany for a year. After 3yrs in service got out and went back home and got job as dog bait for the Post Office. Retired in 05 and moved to boon docks.

I thank you for your service , I didn't , but I humped ammo to keep the guns hot for all 5 branches . If it goes bang , boom , or woof , I probably put it in a truck , rail car , sea , or MIL van , 22 LR to 16" Howie , 25-2000# , LAU to Saturn V . IYAAYAS . :) Or so they tell me .
