X residential home builder, and land developer. Most of my life I had a gun in my hand. I moved out west to Montana in the late 90s. Prior to that I learned to shoot very well and hunting situations out to 500 yards.
A few years later, I really dove in deep and perfected precision, long range shooting.
Spent the last 10 years competing, and as a range officer at just as many matches in my first five years of competing. Lately that’s all I do now, travel around the country, RO, and get to shoot for free.
But yes, I’ve been a dedicated hand loader since 1995, and never shot a single factory box of ammunition in a rifle ever again! I do, however shoot factory loaded ammunition in all of my pistols.
Oh, back in 2018 I had Mike Bush build me one of his voodoo 22LR rifles. Best thing I ever did, I’ve never had so much fun in my life!
