Good to see you...welcome from Alberta Canada
Hand loading out of necessity, can't afford to shoot if I dont.
Right now I am down to two long guns, my m1a and an ar. Been concentrating on getting the m1a kitted out. The AR is pretty much m4 "ish". Next will be the contender in 375jdj. Funds being tight it may take a while.
Btw being up here in Washington state, I'm pretty much married to my " assault:" guns.
