Newbie from NZ

Started back in the 60’s with a simplex jnr press (Australian) (similar to a old Lyman jnr) adapted it to fit 7/8 x14 dies. Hand built a swaging press, borrowed press’s for a while and then Leeloaders came on the market at a reasonable price, I was not put off by zinc die cast offerings as a lot of my richer mates were. with the careful stripping, cleaning and greasing, I got three multistage press’s through over 25yrs of Pistol shooting, then sold two of them to a local shooter. For hunting I use an old single stage lee. Got a mixture of mainly Lee and Lyman dies

Welcome .

I too have a significant amount of other than Lee tools .
Lee let me get started casting bullets at a price I was willing to pay . I'd rather not think about what is invested now .....

Welcome. Always dreamed about a NZ hunt for deer but never found time or money. Be interested in what you use as firearms. I am in the far East of Canada.
