Before I was old enough to vote (1964) I sold one of the old cars I had fixed up to the point that it was both operable & registered and then used the money to buy a brand new Remington 600 Magnum in the .350 Rem. Mag. caliber, which I was hoping to use for a possible future elk hunt. After the following year's hunt in which I did get my first elk, and working for less than minimum wage, I could scarcely afford to buy factory ammo so I scraped up enough cash to buy a brand spanking new one of those classic, smack it with a hammer, Lee loaders for the little 350 magnum and started reloading, mostly just .357 pistol bullets ahead of 13 grains of Red Dot powder for plinking and rabbit hunting fun. So that's when I became a reloader.
After getting a real job and picking up a nice post-WWII Model 70 Winchester in .257 Roberts for my deer hunting I bought an old, rusty C-frame press that already had the right size shell holder for my .257 Roberts and it took the standard 7/8-14 dies, at which time I got a little more serious about reloading.
Years later I took up skeet shooting and bought a four press set of MEC 650 progressive loaders for the 12, 20, 28 gauge and .410 bore shot-shell reloading.
I am currently still tooled for loading the 12, 20, 28 & .410 shotgun shells, .45 Colt pistol ammo and .223 Rem, .257 Roberts, .25-35 Win, .25-06, .270 Win, .308 Win, .348 Win, .35 Rem, .35 Whelen, .416 Rem Mag & .45-70 Gov't rifle calibers. But I no longer load for the .257 Roberts, .25-06, .350 Rem Mag or the .416 Rem Mag because I sold those guns. I'm hoping to possibly pick up or build another 257, 350 and maybe even a 416 just to fill out my collection but the two magnum calibers I would only be able shoot with plinker loads because I have a reverse total shoulder replacement and can no longer absorb that much recoil.
So with over 59 years and tens of thousands of reloads behind me as a reloader I've done a bit, but still hope to do some more before I am through.
