My RCBS reloading kit is one year older ( 1973) and still using it. I had to replace the cam on the press once along with a new handle. The kit still loads accurate ammo.
He needs to put that stuff to work. One of crosses I bear is old friends too old to walk the walk and pass their old stuff my way. I find younger jokers to pass it further down the road when I can, with only a few exceptions. Cans in the pic below have never been opened...........
I am..........disturbed.

I can still see those kits on the shelf at the local emporium 40+ years ago. That guy's "Oh wow" attitude is a little amusing but entirely understandable coming from someone with zero knowledge of the subject. It's just that someone treating that kit as a relic of the past makes me feel that little bit older!

Ha! I enjoyed the video, thanks for posting...that old metal can of powder brought back some memories...You need to put that equipment to good use and start the very rewarding hobby of reloading👍....Enjoy!..😁.....Hb
While going through Dad’s stuff this last year, I found a 8 lb metal keg of Red Dot unopened that had a $10 price tag in it. I bet it’s still good, too.

I found the original box for the 5-0-5 scale I bought back in the 70's when unpacking some old stuff. I paid $21.97 for it. Those would be in the $80 buck range now. Interesting to see how things have gone up over the years....The dollar isn't worth what it once was
Pretty cool ! Watched my dad when I was a kid. However he would never charge cases if ANYONE was in the reloading room. I follow this safety practice to this day. I started reloading my own cartridges in my early teens.
I am afraid however that our art is a dying art. I hope not , but I just don’t see this next generation with the same passion towards this stuff.

Yep, I have a 8 lber of 700x that's just fine.
As for the dying art...I have a couple of friends who like to shoot and hunt, and have all the components necessary to reload, but the equipment just sits. One of them brings me the materials to reload his cartridges for him.
I'm not sure if it is family life, no confidence, or just apathy. I suppose their equipment will be sold at a garage sale someday.
In the last two weeks, lots of people in Oregon have been asking me about getting into reloading. There is a strong possibility, we are soon to see a massive upsurge in reloading.

Because some high school kids have decided 20 rounds per month should be our limit to purchase.
