[QUOTE="CogburnR, post: 622112, member: 29174"] I was a poor kid and the 'ol man bought me a Lee loader, a pound of IMR4350, a box of 85g hpbt sierra bullets and some wlr primers. I don't think it cost 40$. I didn't kill myself and I wasn't yet 14 years old. My dad did take some of my reloads to shoot prairie dogs with that I was going to take apart because they were too hot. He blew a primer and I had to pop the bolt open with a 2x4. I still have the loader and rifle. It still shoots pretty good too. It must have been in the late 70's. Anyway the reason was I couldn't afford factory ammo. I think it cost 7$ a box and reloads were about 4$ but my dad would buy me bullets,powder,and primers.:) [/QUOTE]
