Hi folks, we moved out to Kennewick a few months back for a job and to get away from the Seattle-crazy. Once the COVID situation gets better it would be fantastic to meet up with folks out here and become part of the community.
I'm a pistol reloader but hoping to learn about rifle and 12 gauge reloading. I've watched tons of videos but I learn best by watching and being able to ask questions. I've got a .303 Lee Enfield, not sure which model as it's a Santa Fe sporterized model so all the original numbers and tell-tale bits were ground off. It came with a model 4 magazine but it doesn't feed correctly, so it's a single shot right now. It would be awesome to try magazines from other models before I buy one for it. Please let me know if you have one I can try.
I'd love to learn about good places to go for target practice out here. While I'm all for supporting the local ranges, etc. I can't afford to pay per hour range fees as often as I like to practice. I collect all the brass I find in hopes of eventually getting firearms which use them or to trade them for ones I can use. I reload .40 SW, .38 Spc. I also pick up trash, etc. others leave behind as much as I can. I've found a few spots out here but they're uncomfortably close to roads, super windy and more importantly on someone's property that I can't get a hold of to ask for permission.
I'd like to learn more about bushcraft, camping and hunting at some point. I like looking for tools, etc at garage sales and flea markets. I'm trying to learn to weld but so far my wire feed welder and I haven't come to an understanding yet... I work on my own equipment as much as possible and am very interested in machinist skills and wood working. I'm hoping to learn about metal casting at some point. My current incarnation is being a handyman fixing things, etc again and I'm happy to help wherever I can.
Cheers
