Do you remember the first centerfire rifle you fired and do you reload for that caliber today?

[QUOTE="WYO300RUM, post: 2507964, member: 32631"] I bought a Rem. 788 in 22-250 when I was 18. First center-fire I had shot. I don't have it anymore . Bought a Win.Mod. 70 heavy barrel 22-250 after that. Sold it and bought a Sako heavy barrel 22-250 that I still load for. I started loading for the 788 with a press my uncle gave me along with some 7 Rem mag dies. I was using a Lee Loader for the 22-250. I bought some RCBS dies for 22-250. Dang ! Then I bought a Ruger M77 MK I 7 Rem. mag. Cause I had the dies. Hunted with it for about 10 years then bought a M77 Mk II 7 mag.. I aquirred me grandpa's old 1903 Springfield after that (like you Ol' Red). Bought 30.06 dies. Then bought a Ruger M77 MK I. After that away I went ! Load for 15 rifle calibers and 10 pistol now. Started loading at 18 . Still at it 46 years later. 2 yes ago I gave my 1903 Springfield to a good friend for his birthday. It sat in my safe for 40 yrs.. Got to see him shoot. First time in 40 years. He collects old military bolt actions .I see 1903's at gun shows and shops here for up to 2k 😳 I didn't know... Sorry I went beyond the first one ! I was making my brain remember. My long term memory is great. Short term not so much 🙄 [/QUOTE]
