    I do like the "kit" merchandizing, it makes it easy for a beginner to get started. Thanks for the pictures. james

    Yeah, I enjoy running across this stuff. Like original old cars, just a step back in time.

    A very nice haul!

    I'm still using the Lachmiller lubersizer I bought new back in 1971. The design was so good, so reliable, that RCBS bought it so if I ever need any parts I just call RCBS. I couldn't begin to imagine the number of boolits run through that thing!

    They made VERY good reloading equipment. I have a friend who owns one of their single stage, cast iron presses and the thing is beyond sturdy!

    I'm curious which mold your kit came with?
