[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 1819621, member: 18849"] Like many I started reloading for the cost savings. Dad & Mom bought me a Lee hand loader for Christmas or birthday? When I was 13 or 14....we didn't have a wood hammer so I used a chunk of 2x4 to pound out those 303 British rounds. That was 1964 or 1965.....primers were less than .50 a flat, powder was less than $2/lb, bullets were $1 to 2 a hundred. Load costs were less than $1/20 rounds. While store bought cartridges were $2 or more, no way I could afford that. Moved on to better equipment bought a Herters "U" frame in 1969 (which I still use today). Hobby has evolved into assembling mostly Savage builds including chambering Ackley improved and other wildcats. Only shooting about 3000 rounds a year now but still striving for that "one hole" group. With all the disadvantages of technology and modern times, one good thing has been the creation of these user forums where ideas & experiences are exchanged for the advancement of our sport & heritage. Good shooting, Randy [/QUOTE]
