[QUOTE="DougsCamo, post: 1240965, member: 83401"] Charles, read your post with a great deal of pleasure and a lot of smiles....you have nearly exactly described my "birth" and "growth" as a shooter...from 50 cents per hour wages working at a gas station, first reloading tool being a Lee Loader (though mine was in 30/30 Winchester, got the .270 Lee a couple of years later), first press, and first bullet casting to present .270 shooter....though yours is a WSM. I too was an avid Jack O'Connor reader...I guess that younger readers will be saying Get Off My Lawn...but that's okay, I embrace certain aspects of growing older...but some of them are like getting a kiss from an aunt with a mustache! I'm down to 2-.270 Winchesters and though I have other rifles including a couple of long range models that I have worn out....don't we all....it seems that when whitetails are my quarry, I find myself reaching into the safe to draw one out Why, you ask...because it just shoots! It has that certain ability of taking me back to my first one (and my youth) that seemed that I was shooting a laser beam...compared to my 30/30 :) [/QUOTE]
