Well I guess I should say why I'm here:
So my father has always been my go to gun encyclopedia, and for my friends as well. However my father came down with Alzheimer's about 8 years ago and Ive been caring for him ever since. I still took him hunting up until about 4 years ago even though I had to take his guns a couple of years before that, and I haven't been hunting or shooting since. Recently due to the progression of his illness I was forced to put him into a memory care facility for he is at the end, and for the first time in many many years I can get back to my hobbies. However when it comes to shooting and reloading I no longer have his help, and that leaves me lacking a very important resource. He always did all the reloading and smith work. So I find myself with equipment I don't know how to use, and I am pretty sure it is not going to be large enough for what I want to do primarily with it however I do want to start reloading some .270. Primarily Ive always wanted to get into shooting .50 cal BMG, and I currently have my sights set on the Barrett M107A1. I would like to load my own rounds for this and I plan on acquiring A M107A1 before winter hits, so any help or advice would be much appreciated. As well as a range in the Austin or south Austin Area preferably that can accommodate 1,000yd shooting would be great.
Thanks for having me,
