Hi people! Ive been a reloader since 1971 when I bought my RCBS Jr Kit, which I still use constantly. My wife and I used to burn quite a few rounds of .45, .44 and .357, and bullets became a mounting expense. I bought a H&G #51, #503 and #130. With an almost endless supply of truck WW, an old Lyman #45 (which I still use!), and an old Coleman #503 one burner gas stove, I eventually learned to make passable bullets. Actually, my only real upgrades since have been a Lyman Mag 20 furnace, and a Dillon SDB for volume pistol. I use lead bullets exclusively and find they do everything I need a bullet to do from a LBT 180gr .357 for deer, or the old H&G #130 .45 for club matches, and they do it in an inexpensive, positive and efficient manner.
