Good morning all,
My name is Phil and I'm a Field Service Manager for a large (Global) IT company. Shooting is purely a hobby and is predominantly paper-punching; 600 and 1000yds, mainly at Bisley in Surrey.
Firearms owned are several .22 for indoor target (Bolt action CZ457, two M&P 15-22 semi-auto's and a GSG 1911 long-barreled pistol) plus a Remington 700-5R in .308 for the long-range outdoor stuff.
I've held my FAC for around five years, and been doing my own hand-loading of the .308 rounds for the last two. I'll be honest, it definitely not cheaper than buying factory rounds, but I love the detail and control.
Not an expert by any means, but I've learnt a lot over the last two years (luckily, not the hard way) and have recently attended a hand-loading 2-day course at Bisley's NRA offices.
Last month, I purchased my first shotgun (Beretta DT11) and have enjoyed a couple of clay days with my Son, who's been doing that as a main hobby for years (which unfortunately mean he's a lot better than me !)
That's about my lot - great to be part of a like-minded group such as yourselves; Looking forward to the interactions
Phil C.
