I got my first at age 62 or63, though likely I will never use it. I’ve loaded 30-06’s for friends and relatives for over 50 years.....yet never owned one. This rifle has been scoped, a load developed, and it’s sitting comfortably in the gun safe as a loner for friends or relatives, should it need to be put into service! memtb
