[QUOTE="Pointman, post: 2079846, member: 102254"] Agree! I originally got into reloading in the early '70s due to a lack of ammunition for a 25-06 I bought. Then I found out that there was virtually no brass available for it. I asked the RCBS guys and they suggested along with a die set, I could use one of their 25-06 trim dies to neck 30-06 brass down. In those Halcyon days of old, I could find a plethora of military surplus 30-06 at Gun shows ( no virtually unknown in Commifornia). That started me down the road of a reloader. I got an RCBS Jr. press but found it difficult to press the mil brass into submission so I gave it to a hunting buddy and got a Chucker. Do I save money, possibly after the costs of equipment are amortized. The Chucker now gas been related to brass prep only. I now seat the bullets with a M.E.C. press. Now I rarely need to "teak" bullet runout. Save money, probably not but the extension of a hobby is worth it. [/QUOTE]
