[QUOTE="Panhandle Pete, post: 2691174, member: 107045"] My first wife bought me a Ruger 77R in 338 Win Mag for our first Christmas, she later bought ma shot shell reloader so Im could save money. In 1975 I purchased a Reminton 788 in 22-250 for $70, I told her I would save more money if I reloaded for my rifles also so she wen t along so I could save $ because I now had three rifles to reload for, a Remington 700 BDL in 270 Win. given to me for Christmas my sophomore year of highschool, the Ruger 77 R in 338 Win Mag and The Rem 788 in 22-250, fast forward 47 years and I have more than 50 die sets (and just a few more rifles) never once did my first wife complain about my shooting, reloading or hunting ( although in 1991 when we were supposed to move into the new house I had built in the country , it has a special reloading room which I have outgrown- she refused to move in until after elk season) I guess after 47 plus years I have decided to keep the original 3 rifles and my first wife.
