I began loading in the very early 70's for handguns, moved up to rifles in the mid '80's and shotguns around 2000. I haven't shot any critters with a jacketed bullet in about 20 years.

My questions: What have you loaded and shot for over the years?

My track record: .22 GTC, .22 Hornet/K-Hornet, .243 Win, .25-20 Win, .25-20 SS, .250 Savage, .257 Roberts, 7x57, .30 Carbine, .30-30, .30 Sneezer, .300 Weatherby, .38 Spcl, .357 Mag, 9mm, .358 Win, .38-55 Win, .40x.38-55 Win, .405 Win, .416 Rigby, .44 mag, .45-70, 20/16/12 Ga shot shells.

So, just how loony are you?
