[QUOTE="dbecklund, post: 737103, member: 59900"] Thanks again. I'm not sure what I knew back then and can't even remember I had a 22/30 but boxes of necked down carbine cases don't lie. What was I thinking? It's like a walk down memory lane after 50 years but the memory isn't doing it's job. I have an old Pacific single station press that has gotten a lot of good press (excuse the pun). Thanks for the lube advice and how to clean the dies. I've ordered the reload books and the bullet manuals. I still have a Win model 70 300 win. mag, a Remington 700 22.250 and a custom 30" 7mm mag. SS 1" Shilen with a Sako Receiver with a 30x Lyman Target Spot scope that tracked well back in those days. This was aggressive stuff back in the 60s for a college kid in Southern Minnesota. My only source for supplies was Herters mail order from a mimeographed sales sheet you could hardly read. They didn't accept phone calls or returns so it got a little dicey when you tried to read their mimeo sales sheets. I got some of my powder confiscated and a visit from postal inspector when Herter's pasted a label "Explosive Material" on the box.They finally stopped labeling the packages and I got my powder but the postal guys went straight to the college admin office and I got my dorm room searched and the powder confiscated again. They never found my 220 swift stuffed inside the edge of my mattress. Those were the days. Sorry about the travel log but the memories are coming back. [/QUOTE]
