Almost to the point calling myself an ex drag racer as I haven't gone in about 3 years as I do not seem to have the time as my interests have been heavily moving toward reloading and hunting, hence my enrollment here looking for some H1000 to find a load that is not temperature sensitive as I had a shot drop way too much with IMR4350 in a 300 win mag in extreme cold. I'll be retiring in less than 3 years and plan to hunt even more than I do now and take off about 4 weeks a year as it is. I've got 4 daughters that own their own homes and are fantastic, a wife that has stuck with me going on 40 years and I see her as quite beautiful even now and I have 6 grandkids. I started hunting at 48, almost 60 now, as my cousin talked me into buying a shotgun to go duck hunting and it has kind of exploded from there so that sometimes I think I only work to take time off to go hunting, elk, deer, duck, geese, pheasant, rock chucks, prairie dogs, badgers in Idaho, and ground squirrels in Idaho and Montana. I also have a dislike for possum that end up in my woodshed and have trapped and disposed of 35 of them. One of my sons-in-law is a national handgun champion and I hunt probably more with him than anyone else but I'm a better shot with a rifle and better than average and my oldest daughter is the best shot of all of us with a rifle, especially with my .17hmr, but does not shoot much, and one season the son-in-law and myself shot 667 confirmed ground squirrels in 2.5 days with .22's and a .17hmr. Only one daughter not married and she a a nurse and an officer in the Air Force. Another is a nurse also at a surgery center, another Air National Guard and dental assistant with an A-10 squadron and she went to Iraq 3 times, and one is a stay at home mom with 3 rambunctious kids and a husband that just started his own electrical company and is doing quite well. I've been blessed by God and a Conservative and looking to hopefully move out of the socialist state of Washington to land of the free in Montana. I'm a very active writer to congressmen during the sessions here in Washington and probably on some sort of watch list as I tell them what I think of their gun grabbing, freedom robbing socialist ideas.
