Lee Loader

I know you begin by introducing myself. My name is Rick and I'm 62 years Young. I now live in the Deep South but I'm originally from Northwest Missouri. Many years ago in my youth I competed in ipsec and bowling pin matches and reloaded on a Hornady Progressive. Due to health reasons I had to quit competing and since I was no longer shooting 20,000 rounds a year I sold my reloading equipment. I still go to the range regularly just to keep my safety procedures and skills intact.

All of that said I am not approaching reloading to save money but purely as a hobby. Now that I'm getting closer to retirement and only live with my 80 lb black mouth cur I wanted to and find something that I enjoy doing.

I'm not looking to Precision reload and so I purchased a Lee cam lock Pro press as well as the case feeder and safety Prime. I prefer to manually set the bullet to force myself to check the case for proper charge. 40 years since last reloading I consider myself a novice with a background. I have just built buy small reloading bench and if I can figure it out will post a pic. My press is not here yet but on order and with what is going on in this world today I want to wish you all safety. Together we will all come through this to the other side of this I am certain. Looking forward to learning and enjoying.

Welcome aboard and anybody that says they're saving money reloading isn't doing it right.

Be well, stay safe, make smoke,

Welcome .

I do save money reloading but I shoot stuff that isn't readily available and when it is it's very expensive like 264WM at $50/20 and 45 Colts and 45-70 aren't a lot better .

Welcome. Hope you enjoy getting back into the reloading addiction. I have been shooting IPSC for a number of years although a shoulder issue has me sidelined just now. I think I shoot to make room in my cupboards for more reloads ;-)

I shoot some "odd balls" too and you're right it beats retail if they can be found, but I find I also shoot more.

Welcome! I shoot so that I can reload!
