This reloader for rifle and pistol shells was stting out in some brush in a plastic case. It was getting pretty rusty but my son and I figured we would try to salvage it. The guy who owns the property said we could have it for a 12-pack of Heineken beer. It's cleaning up pretty good and should work just fine. Will post more pics later after it has been repainted and reloaded some ammo. Got dies for 9mm Luger, 30-06, 22, 300 Weatherby, .338 Winchester mag and some other stuff. We already have reloaders in the family but you can never have too many. :D

Nice thing to have, especially since I can't find .45 long colts anywhere anymore.

That's why my whole family is into reloading rginn. It costs a lot less than store-bought and you don't have to worry about the stores being out or closed, especially after you have your own brass. I have 100 shell casings and bullets along with 1,000 primers coming for my Winchester .338 mag. Once I have the brass, I can reload for next to nothing. Already have the dies. This is a pic of some 30.06 shells we reloaded with the reclaimed loader. They are 180 grain, boat tail Spitzer bullets, 47 grains of 4064 smokeless powder and CCI large rifle primers. 2600 feet-per-second at the muzzle. :thumbsup: Also have some 40 and 45 caliber pistol rounds to load but not long colts. We could get some though. It was kinda fun reloading with this old press.

Got the grandson resizing and popping primers out of 45 caliber brass for the next project. Gonna use the classic loader again, just to use it. :thumbsup:

just a little update. The bullets for the .338 Winchester Mags came in so we put a "few" together with the ol' press. Still haven't fired any; hope they work!
