In 1960 or so, my first press, at age 15, was C-H, C frame, and a set of C-H dies, for .303 British, to start loading for a Lee Enfield No1 Mk 3, that I got for Christmas. These were purchased at a local gun store in Nanaimo BC. I still have that press, along with a couple of others, and use it occasionally. It seemed to be pretty good quality equipment at that time, and still seems pretty good now.
At the same time, I purchased a Lyman reloading manual, a Redding scale, still in use, along with other powder measures, some CIL 150 gr PSP .303 bullets, 3031 powder, and some primers.
As there was no one else that I knew that was reloading, I was self taught, along with some help from the good guys in the local gun store.
