Just a shot.......

Yes, this is the only press I have. Bought about 1955. I was a teenager living with My Parents. I built a bench in an old closet and had the press mounted in the closet. This old press has turned out a lot of rounds.
 
Not quite as old, but, my 1967 Redding C press is mounted to my bench with a universal recapping die.

That must be hell for the C-press. I really hate those universal recappers.
The same stories, over, and over, and over, and over...
 
I bought a reloading press and scale etc. thinking that I could save some money on the ammo. Well maybe I did reduce the price per shot, but didn't save any money as I just shot more. My ol hunting buddy bought some dies and would come over and use my press. The two of us could turn out a bunch of ammo in an evening of reloading. We would load around 250 rounds then go out West and hunt jackrabbits. In winter they would be bunched up and you could do a lot of shooting. Later I got into casting bullets for the handguns. I cast for 38, 44 and 45. When the local printers stopped using the lead for their printing they sold out their lead stock and I bought a bunch of it. Still have some left. I have loaded for 222, 218 bee, 30-30, 270, 30-06 and a few others. The reloading has been a great hobby to go along with the hunting and shooting. For you newcomers to the art, I say, read the manuals, follow instructions, go slow and work up your loads. You will find much enjoyment in both the loading and the shooting.
