Even if I do find the components I need, I can't afford it!
This is nuts!
I started reloading when:
A flat of 100 primers was 99 cents.
Powder was $3 to $4 a pound.
A LOT of people used "Lee Loaders".
Sierra bullets came in cardboard boxes with 101 bullets.
A box of those bullets was +/- $4.
Most boxes of bullets had 100 in it.
People who poured, resized and lubed their own bullets were pretty common.
Most tire shops would gladly give you a few pounds of wheel weights just to get rid of them.
In the early 60's, most of the local gun stores didn't carry reloading supplies. Most people ordered components from a catalogue.
