Denton: I have mentioned this "first reloading" of mine many times before on this forum and others.
"I" taught myself to reload at the age of 12 (1959) for my family's only Rifle - it was a sporterized military Winchester Model of 1917 in 30/06 caliber.
I got "free" brass that I picked up at the local range and surplus powder back then was 99 cents a pound!
I also began with a "Lee Loader" and then moved to a "Herters" press some time later, and shortly thereafter an R.C.B.S. press.
I still use "reloading" as the best way to obtain the most accurate/reliable/repeatable ammunition and as a great form of relaxation/therapy.
Reloading is still one of my most favored hobbies and pastimes.
