[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 1769304, member: 101791"] Hand Loading: I have enjoyed hand loading from the start at age 14 (now 71+). I hand load Rifles, Pistols, and Shotguns. Some to save cost, and some to develop loads that works for me and others. Shotgun I generally load for heavy loads with speed for game. I used a 12 gauge with 1-3/8 oz load. Dove, Ducks, whatever. I just change the shot size. [I]I could get Mag loads at light loads price purchase at the store. Starting out with my 300 H&H Mag at age 14. I got a C&H Single stage press, F.L. Dies. A cut off case and told that was the amount of powder to use for the hand loads with a 180 bullet. Power was IMR. 4831 I believe. All that was included in the purchase of the 721 Rem. H&H Mag. in a 24" barrel. I at the time [/I]I [I]didn't think that using a saw off case at was very good way to go. To change powder who knows. I got a Oil tube scale that I used for a few years.
