No I did not. He is 10 years later than I was. I was on the commissioning crew in June of 1966, did the sea trials, 3 patrols on the Carver and got out of the Navy in 1968. I’m a first year minted Boomer. 😎

I too am sorry to hear this, it was inevitable but still leaves the forum a little more empty. May he RIP. I hope his family some peace.

Sporting clays is a lot of fun. I have shot a ranges in 5 states, they’re all different and challenging. Trap and skeet are the same every time you call “pull”. Trap and skeet are quite a bit cheaper to shoot than sporting clays, which like everything else, is getting a little pricey. All the...

I’m a boomer who served on a boomer. 😎 SSBN 656, Blue crew.

Beautiful collection. But that one got my attention. My birthday, month and year. 👍

Yes they are. 😁 I do have newer ones I actually use to reload with. I use some of the older powders so an older manual comes in handy once in a while. The “Pet Loads” by Ken Waters is a favorite for a lot of old semi-obsolete rifle rounds. like my .30-40 Krag.

Why not update? Always some good information in them. I have a lot of older manuals, both my fathers and my own. I enjoy reading them, if nothing else except the history in them, but I would not trust some of the older ones. Especially P.O. Ackley’s.
