Unique in a 12 ga. shot shell, loaded with the lee hand tool set!
Surplus 4895 in a .30-06 in 1962. $.50 per pound in a paper bag at the local sporting goods store. Rifle was a 1917 Enfield that I paid $19.99 plus shipping from S. Klein and sons in Chicago. Still have it.
Another one of these meaningless threads!
Mauser - go load bullets instead of seeing how many posts are run up
BTW, I charge powder but the 1st powder I dropped, on the bench, was Goex FFFFg back in the 60's

IMR 4895 back about 1967. I had ordered a 1917 30-06 enfield while i was in the navy and mom got the box and didn't tell dad as he probably would have had a stroke. All my reloading stuff back then would have fit in a 20mm ammo can. Frank
IMR 3031 in 30-30
Your career doesn't define the man you are, what kinda Dad you are does!
If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.
