Greetings to all! Found this site while trying to dig up some bullets for my 416 Ruger. Been into guns since I was 14 (a LONG time ago). Hunting days are pretty much over but I still crave the smell of gunpowder. Big into reloading, currently up to 14 different calibers. Retired from the US Army after 25 years service, went to work as a government contractor in the Washington, DC metro area, and retired after another 28 years in the grind. Wife and I bought a multi-generational house and are living with my older son and his family. Love living with the grand kids! Got interested in big bores a while back. Messing around with a black powder flintlock rifle and percussion pistol. I'd love to communicate with all members of this forum. Best wishes to all.

Welcome.

I got my first ticket ever in Haymarket, on Rt15 just after the bridge over 66. This was in 1991 when there was almost nothing at that intersection.

62 in a 45 at 1am…still bitter about that..;-)

Welcome to AH.

We are in Alexandria and frequent Bull Run for shotguns and Elite Shooting in Manassas. Always fun to light off a big bore at the rifle range and watch the heads turn.

welcome, a treasure trove of information here. I spent a summer in near by Front Royal back in the 80’s. Great area back then. Also spent a lot of time farther south as both of my parents are from Virginia ( Waynesboro and New Market ). spent a lot of time wade fishing for smallmouth and sneaking up on mallards and black ducks on the Shanendoah . Also shot a few geese and swan down on the Rappahanick.
