Thanks to you all who answered for me!
I just began short range this spring. First match Shamrock, first target shot .139. I thought "boy this is easy" then I shot second target and so on. I was hooked. What a challenge! Everyone has been nice, especially Bart and Billy the first guys I met watching the Manatee February match. Any way why so much? Others have answered but I was talking to Bart in October at Riverbend. I asked how do I proceed from here. He recommended 100-200 pounds of powder, 50,000 primers and of course lots of bullets! Learn the powder, the bullets, and have enough to last so as not to be searching for components. Of course this only works if you have the money to buy.
