As a kid, I watched my dad load for his Parker Hale 30/06, and my Granddad's Mossberg 270, using an old Lyman 310.
In '94, I fell into a Ruger Blackhawk in 41 magnum. At $18 box for 357, and $28.95 for a box of 41 mag, I remembered my dad handloading. I bought a used Lee Loader in 41 mag, and never looked back. Load for everything I own now, and cast for them all too. From 222 Remington, to my 58 smokepole.
