12 & 20ga.
Started pulling the handle in '73 with a Pacific 105 12ga. loader & in 74 with an RCBS Jr. A high percentage of my guns have never used a factory load. Not sure if I've ever killed big game with a factory load & the only varmints killed with factory stuff will have been the ones shot with a rimfire. OTOH, I'll grab a killer deal if I get the chance. A bud & I bought 2 pallets of 12 ga. target loads & about halfway through the second pallet we quit shooting Sporting Clays for some reason & what shells were left have carried me through several Dove seasons.
I cast some in the 70's but didn't get serious about it till Obamas first year & damn glad I started back. Just another source of freedom & self reliance.
