New Old Guy from Wisconsin

Post by SidecarMike »

I see a lot of familiar names here.


I've been reloading since the early 70's. I bought my first Lee loader, Dick was working out of a two car garage. Over the years I've had a Pro 1000 and Loadmasters, in addition to various colored off-brands. I have slowed down now and am happy with a 4 hole turret press. I load 380, 9mm, 45 Colt, 45ACP, 223, and soon 22 Hornet and 45-70.
I also cast for all of them. Started with a pot on the kitchen stove and worked my way through a Production pot and a Pro 4. I recently converted it to a Magnum Melter and couldn't be happier.
