Started reloading with my dad when I was about ten years old, would have been around 1960. He used the old Lyman pliers type reloaders and I still have some of them. We cast bullets in a cast iron pot over a Coleman camp stove. Then one day a Herters cast iron C press arrived. Really made things a lot easier and faster. Then he started buying ready made bullets with copper jackets. I have and have used several other kinds of presses but I still like that big, old, heavy Herters press. Have two of them now. They use a special shell holder and I have a complete set. Have to use an adapter for regular 7/8" dies but I have them also. I still enjoy casting bullets when I have some time to kill, which isn't often.
