Mec JR reloading quiestion

[cordell]

Hi dovehunter,
We are located in Chatham, which is south central just above Danville and 45 minutes south of Lynchburg. I agree with you on the prices of lead but must dissagree with you when you mention the clutter in my reloading room...................nobody has a more cluttered reloading room than I do ;-). Every drawer is full and every shelf is stacked, I took a fellow up to "the room" the other day and he said "good grief you have some antiques here".... Some of my stuff (like some others on this forum) goes back 40+ years, and then it dawned on me that when I started loading/collecting in 1966 if someone had a room filled with "stuff" from 1922, I would have said the same thing ;-)... Now as far as Richmond is concerned my Daughter and her family live just south of you in Chesterfield so I visit up that way as often as I can!!...............what do you load for (except doves ;-)...)...Take care and God bless you and yours.

Boy you asked the 64 dollar question! At last count - Rifle: .22 Hornet, .223 Rem., .225 Win., .30-30 Win., .30-06, & 8x57 Mauser, Handgun: 9mm Luger, .38/.357, .45 ACP, .45 Colt, Shotgun: 12 ga., 16 ga., & 20 ga. I think that covers everything.

That ol 600 Mec up on the top shelf has the OOOLLLDDD shot and powder bottles. I've got some of them too. You've also got some old powder measures and an old Pacific press. Most of my single stage presses are old. I still use a couple RCBS A2 and 2A presses and have a couple Pacific old timers. But the Dillon 650 and 550 get the most use. Tried one of them Lee presses and the only one that seems to be ok for me is the Classic Cast Press. Probably as good as any Rock Chucker made. And I have a couple of them too. As for powder measuring I usually use one of the RCBS electronic powder measure scale combos. or an old Francis Quick Measure
