It's a cold Winter day in the Northeastern United States. Winter has taken hold with some strength this year and I find my aging body wanting to be inside to escape the cold. I'm not sure if this 'contentment' is a blessing or curse. Now at 60 years young I'm finally finding some peace indoors.

With this my focus is on reloading ammunition. A couple pics for those of you doing the same...

Stay focused and have fun reminiscing about past and future hunting endeavors!

I just purchased my first ultra modern cartridge rifle last week!

A 6.5 PRC and I started reloading for it yesterday. I'm going to use it in Scotland this September stalking Red Stag, Sika & Roe Deer.

Very excited because I've always been a traditionalist when it came to calibers with the most recent developed in 1962 the 340 Weatherby Magnum. Then most everything I own beyond the 340 was from the early 1900's & earlier (30-30, 30-06, 416 RIGBY, 45-70, 470 NE, 500 NE.......) all oldies.
 
Spent last night necking up 200 piece of WW .300 WSM brass to .375 cal... two stage necking, .30 to .338 to .375... then chamfering, polishing, cleaning and priming... ready for developing my next pet load.

FUN!
