[QUOTE="mountainman56, post: 1828031, member: 79106"] About 1975, my dad came home with a handful of stuff he'd bought at an auction sale. RCBS press, scale, lube pad etc. Kind of a very small starter kit. I remember him buying some RCBS dies, Hornady bullets, Remington primers and H-4831 powder for his .243 and started reloading. He loaded for a while and then kind of lost interest. I, on the other hand became possessed. I was reading ballistic charts like Playboy. Jack O'Connor was my hero. We lived in Canada at the end of the road so there was nothing available within driving distance. Everything was bought mail order. I worked every summer and saved my money for rifles, dies, bullets and powder. My first rifle was a sporterized P-14 Enfield in .303 (I was 10 years old). I loaded for it, dad's 243 and 30-06. Was always tinkering with loads. I would get away from it from time to time, work and girls interfered (not always in that order) but always came back. It's kinda taken on a life of it's own now :oops: [/QUOTE]
