[QUOTE="Mmac52280, post: 2616381, member: 120230"] Just a suggestion based on personal experience, but in my life I have found that canvassing for old timers in your area to glean any and all of their knowledge they have, to be a virtual life saver. Internet advice is fine, but won't hold a candle to hands on instruction. Recently, a just retired friend gave me an old Mac jr 20 gauge press he hadn't used since he was in boy scouts. Had stored it in his attic for over 25 years. There was also a nearly full box of old primers, with contact explosive salt all over the box. I stopped him from grabbing the primer box that day, asking him not to do that while I was standing there. Bribery helps, and sometimes it's required. [/QUOTE]
