DustBuster Posted March 6, 2021 Report Posted March 6, 2021 Hi All... I have posted a few topics now, asking for advice...I really want to pick your brains again but I have never formally introduced myself. Im a carpenter who lives in a small town in Wyoming... I’m over 40 but can’t quite believe it. I live with my gal friend. She gets Bark Box packages in the mail lately and I’ve been getting misc. gun parts. I’m also a ham radio operator and love to work come CW and occasionally RTTY on the Low Bands. I hunt sometimes and have really been enjoying the learning of the LR-308 and also of the technicals of reloading. Good to have found this site on searches and to ask and receive info and opinions from what I gather are a solid group ranging from people like me on up to extremely experienced pros. Take care, 73 as they say in Amateur radio

Rsquared Posted March 6, 2021 Report Posted March 6, 2021 I was still in my 40's........about 5 years ago. I've been eye-ballin Wyoming as a place to finally escape the east coast. Gorgeous state, and just the right size population for a guy like me. Welcome from Maryland.

DustBuster Posted March 6, 2021 Author Report Posted March 6, 2021 Yep, come here all who want to leave the gun grabbin liberals from the cities! I was born in AK, kinda grew up in Seattle, and graduated HS in MT. Found my way here. Jackson is a joke, I definitely wouldn’t want to be over there... our 308s might raise a few uppity eyebrows there.. but most of the state is my kind of place. Hi to you too, Beantown...de w7dgr. Thanks for the welcomes, 308ar Crew. Tonight I will ask your thoughts on a different topic..

unforgiven Posted March 8, 2021 Report Posted March 8, 2021 Welcome from Indiana brother, I'm a Sheet metal worker Chicago. I started in the shop and then became a field hand. Building America for 40 yrs.
DustBuster Posted April 15, 2021 Author Report Posted April 15, 2021 Tack 14, I derailed your Intro, if you want to add here, I owe you.... well I have Zero confidence in the milspec Trigger I have, 65% confidence in my shooting “luck” and 99% confidence in my yet to be fired barrel. It’s time to build up some fundamentals then. I backboned an elk last season, with my 30-06. Piss poor waste of precious Chops....After that I swore to myself I’d shoot good from there on out. I held high by a guess amount. I knew the range was about 240... had bipod on the ground, but did not squeeze trigger that I can remember and I definitely did not have the rifle trajectory mastered in memory... Things need to change for me with any gun I shoot....

Maybe I'm wrong, but you posted this apology in YOUR OWN intro thread, but apologizing for derailing Tack14s intro. This is YOUR THREAD, man. Get ahold of yourself, here. Grip tight, too. You were probably thinking you were responding to this one, but you fucked that up spectacularly. I think you THOUGHT you were here, whilst typing happily away:
98Z5V Posted April 15, 2021 Report Posted April 15, 2021 Just my speculation, on what went down. Doesn't mean that I'm right, though. I fuk things up often.. Let's play it out...
