Hello All,

[laowho]

Just wanted to introduce myself, and totally new to BP. Learned of this site from a thread @ the Shiloh forums (which I've been unable to join). Purchased a Sporter #1 in 45-70 thru Bill Goodman and have been doin most of my Google searches with a Don McDowell tag line to cut through some unnecessary searches. Have also read some of the blogs of some members here.

Never reloaded before nor cast, but everything has begun arriving today and feel I'm fairly set to begin this long learning curve that seems to have as much arc as these boolits. Learned about BPCRs and Sharps while researchin a Win '94 (1952 in 30-30) that we purchased in the hope that our son will take an interest. We're in central NJ and understand there's a club in south Jersey that shoots 1st Sundays. Otherwise we have a 300-yard range fairly near and a 600-yard range elsewhere.

Really appreciate the wisdom and generosity here, and am lookin forward to learnin more. Been fairly deep into past threads, but only 10-pages worth. Fraid you won't hear much from me but I'll be here readin. And please move this if there's somewhere else that I shoulda said hey.

Thanks
