I reload for and or cast my own bullets for every centerfire gun I own. Over 40 sets of dies,,four presses and several gadgets and gizmo's as well as tons of bullets,powder is ample and varied,primers are well stocked at all times. My favorite press is my Dillon RL 550 for production runs and my old ,vintage Lyman All-American turret press gets the bulk of the load proving runs. I have a '73 Chevy Van that I set up as a shooting wagon that is also fully equipped to reload with a simple addition of planned powders,dies ect for the day's efforts. A RCBS Rockchucker resides in the van full time and it is accompanied by a pact digital powder scale and a small laptop to keep track of the shooting trials. A copy of Lee Precision's SHooter program is a wonderful addition to your computer,,many companies powder manuals are included and a full suite of data base programs make it simple work to keep track of your guns,reloading data,,ect.

Been at it for a day or two myself. Don't have much anymore though. What's left now isn't going anywhere though. Started with an RCBS jr. back in the 70's...these days it's the RCBS Pro 2000. Also spend Friday nights casting some kind of bullet...a relaxing way to end the week of work.

My dad was a reloader. He used a 550 Dillon and had a rock chucker he'd play with sometime's. I loved his load's and went plinkin with many of them.
He taught my daughter to reload, but after he passed on I hid, then sold the equipment so she wouldn't make any boo boo's without his supervision

I hand load for my .30-06, my .270, my .30-30, my .357/.38 and for my .45 ACP. I love to load my own.
