[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1819579, member: 69192"] I started reloading 58 years ago after meeting a guy who was on the rifle team of my gun club; we were on the rifle team together. I liked deer hunting and wanted to shoot more and save money, so......got into reloading for my hunting rifles. At that time 4831 powder was around $.50 a pound and came in waxed paper bags as were a lot of pulled 30 caliber military bullets, so a lot of 30-06s got loaded!! I never really did any precision reloading until I came across this site while doing some research on some load data a number of years ago. And....until recently I built a .270 AI and had to learn how to fire form cases the proper way, as well as get the best performance out of my rounds. Would like to add that I started with and old Pacific "C" press, a CH full length sizing die and Lee seating die, and a Hornady powder measure. If you wanted to change cartridges, the ram had to be changed instead of changing shell holders. Eventually I machined one of the rams to accept shell holders. [/QUOTE]
