RCBS Rock Chucker kit with 270 WIN die set, bought new in 1978 from B&B pawn on Yadkin Rd in Fayetteville NC (near the 82nd ABN DIV gate). Bought a Speer #9 and a Lyman #45. Bought a Redding #3 powder measure and a RCBS 5-10 scale from Cumberland Knife & Gun on Bragg Blvd. about the same time I bought the press. I'm a self-taught handloader with those two books opened as I worked my way through the process (I did find books written by John Wooters and by Bob Hagel that helped with my education as well. I still have and use the press, dies, manual, and powder measure. I also kept one square carton of the original powder I loaded (H380) and one pack of the CCI 250 primers I bought to get started, none of the bullets are left though.


One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.
