1974 I bought a Ruger Security Six in Spartanburg , SC
In 1974 I bought a Ruger .357 Security Six in Spartanburg , SC. I next bought the Lee tap tap bang dies that you used a mallet and thick piece of wood to pound out your handloads one at a time. Each pistol or rifle I bought I also bought reloading equipment for it. Today I am not even sure how many calibers I can load. I load a few wildcats for my TC pistols and ect. I even load for a few calibers that I never had a weapon for. I enjoy the handloading as much as shooting. Don't really think that I have saved any money. If I had just bought the factory loads as I need them I would have saved money. I have had lots of fun over the years and still tinker with the hobby. I have made Midway rich.

In a little over a year's time I now reload for the following:
.221 Rem Fireball .223 Rem 9 mm Lugger .38 spcl .357 Mag .357 Wildey Mag .45 Wildey Mag .41 Rem mag .45 ACP There are quite a few I do not reload for at this time due to the fact that I do not shoot them enough, or the price of factory ammo is so cheap the cost of doing so would be a wash.

In order of most rounds/month.
10mm .40 s&w .44 special .357 mag 9mm .45 Colt 30-30 I'm trying to eliminate two or three of these and start casting for the rest. 9mm and .45 Colt are on the chopping block. |
