[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 101857, member: 704"] Do you guys remember the old Lee loader that you used a hammer to do your reloading. I started out with that and a model 43 Winchester in 22 Hornet in 1960 I think it was. I would hike up to the neighbors and shoot a few gophers, then sit behind a big rock and hammer another 20 rounds out. I carried the hand trimmer, bullets, powder, and Lee loader in one of those old WWII gas mask bags. I gave the rifle to one of my sons with all the bullets and everything. I don't remember the exact price, but I had an old box of a hundred bullets that was under $2. I can still see my dad sitting at the kitchen table and loading by the light of an old kerosene lamp. You mentioned 6.5X55. Dad had one of those that he bought before the 1968 firearms law went into affect. He ordered it from an add in Outdoor Life for $19.99. They had beaters for $9.99, good, but all original mausers for $19.99, and absolute perfect never fired mausers for $29..99. I picked one up to look at in Montana last week. It was beat, but the price tag was $400. Edit: We used the info that came with our Lee loader. When we purchased a Speer #7 we thought we were really cooking. You should see the recommended loads in that old manual.[ATTACH=CONFIG]5408._xfImport[/ATTACH] ] [/QUOTE]
