[QUOTE="Carlos88, post: 2459609, member: 116554"] I'll start. My Dad. My earliest recollection of being around guns, reloading, etc was sitting in Dad's lap blowing out primer residue after he scraped the pocket with a Grace screw driver ('63-'64). It is remarkably efficient. He had a bedroom dedicated to his hunting goods, 3'x3' reloading table, five or six sets of dies, a C&H press and a powder scale. The cartridges were .22LR, .243, .270, 30-06, .38 Special, 44-40, 44 magnum. All were rifle cartridges except the .38 which was a S&W Combat Masterpiece, 4" barrel. The 22LR was a cut down Model 75 Target model with a sporter stock. The .243 was a Mexican Mauser (1910) with a Browning barrel and a Weatherby styled stock and a K4, .270 was a Husqvarna 1600/1640 with a custom stock, 21" Douglas barrel and a Leupold 3-9x42 attached by Weaver mounts, .30-06 was Model 70 FWT with a K3. Both of the 44's were rebarreled 94s with 18" Douglas barrels. We shot weekly. Mostly 22LR which was used to conserve powder. I'll post a little more later. [/QUOTE]
