Posted: Wed Mar 27, 2013 2:13 pmMy dad has loaded for years but myself I've just started doing more in the last couple years. We just use a rcbs rock chucker. I load for my .45 acp, 7-30 waters, 7-08 and .300 weatherby. Factory ammo has gotten ridiculously expensive lately. $80-100 bucks for the .300wby

Posted: Sat Jun 08, 2013 11:08 amI use the old Lyman press that I bought in the late 70's.
So I guess I've been handloading for three decades now.

Posted: Sun Aug 18, 2013 9:47 pmI have been reloading .45 ACP for about five years now. I reload on a Dillion 450.
I've reloaded a little rifle on my buddy's rock crusher. Seemed to work out pretty well and got my 30-06 out to a 1000 yards. Now I have to go get my own so I can reload for 30-06, .308 Win, and .32 Winchester Special.

Posted: Tue Sep 10, 2013 7:11 pmI use one of those little Lee hand loaders to load for my 30-40 Krag. I use an electronic scale to keep the loads the same within reason. 220 gr round nose soft point at 2,000 fps is the design criteria. Works great and pretty accurate. I only shoot paper with it. Got it because I've always wanted a Krag.
