[QUOTE="Philward, post: 2869321, member: 92604"] I remember as a kid in 70's always hanging out with dad in his little hidden room where he did the reloading. He was always doing something up there. Watched him do many different things and load lots of ammo, then he started letting me do some for myself for my use. He still uses the same press, RCBS Junior I think, that he bought back in about 1965 when he started. At 87yo now it's a little harder for him to get into that room and his vision is not good from right eye(he's right handed), so not shooting much either. He had a knack for making accurate loads. I remember he cut off the barrel of a Savage 110 with a hack saw, squared it and re-crowned in a drill press. It shot way better than originally and he used 70g hp bullets that made a ragged hole at 100. He killed many deer with that rifle with 90-100g bullets until he sold it to a relative and it subsequently burned up in a truck fire. So most everything was learned from him and his experience and lately from any interesting threads on this forum. There is always someone with a little different take on what to do and some of it may be useful at some time. [/QUOTE]
