I started reloading in1956 I had a 222 with a die that was cut from the chamber reamer.
Was at a bench rest match and someone took my die. yea we had people who played games back then!
I went and purchased a lee loader. This was like the classic loader sold today.
Instead of hammering the case in I used an arbor press for everything while loading with it. some guys were impressed with the little thing when I started cleaning up at matches and winning. a year later I got my old die back It was sitting on my bench that I was at in a towel. My wife sitting there did not know who put it there.
I still use that lee loader when loading for a 222 at the bench.
I no longer win matches, I shake, but do like to shoot.

Never under estimate any type of die, if you do you will lose or miss that deer.
I paid somewhere around 2.96, it still is marked on that old box.
