Howdy All
I’ve enjoyed shooting sports and hunting my whole life, but just now started the path into reloading. As a kid I’d watch my dad reload shotgun shells and later got to do a small bit of handgun reloading with my older brothers. In spite of all that I somehow never caught the bug until now. A new Lee Classic Turret setup is on its way to me and I crossed paths with this site white researching my purchase. This group has a nice ‘feel’ and I’m looking forward to hanging out with you. My initial focus is on handgun loads, but there are a couple of rifle rounds I plan to expand to in the future.
I’m from the suburbs outside of Houston, Texas, but I also have some roots in the Missouri Ozarks. I make my living as an EMS administrator and have been with the same organization for 36 years. I’m married to a woman I don’t deserve, have a handful of grandkids (two of whom enjoy going to the range with me and I’m really hoping they take an interest in this new adventure, also), and enjoy wood turning, fishing, fly tying, kayaking, and a variety of lesser-involved hobbies.
Anyway, I’m grateful to be added here and look forward to learning from you.

Welcome...I was born in Webster and spent my first five years in League City until moving to North Texas. I bet you know where those places are.

Welcome to the forum, Jim! Hah, another Texan! Spent a month or two over 17 years in Spring, back when I could deer hunt within 2 miles of the original Spring Cafe (old boarding house right on the railroad tracks).

Spring Cafe... good memories. I don't know how long it's been for you, but that whole area is freeway and subdivisions now. I miss that old-town charm.Ranch Dog wrote:Welcome to the forum, Jim!
