1977, Lee Loader for .38 special. Later got one for .45acp and .44 special. Didn't have an actual press until 2015, didn't cast until 2019

i have several old;. the original lee priming tools with the screw in shell holder. love them. other than that i have nothing. i don't think much of lee other than that they are cheap.

my first reloader: Lee Pro 1000; its the three hole one. about 16 years ago.
I bought it from a retiring bullseye shooter. he did Colt 1911 and SW41 both of which i subsequenty bought also. Then O'bama got in and there were no components anywhere. so i bought his casting eq. now I am deep in. four presses, led by my RL450 Dillon. and no casting currently. where is O'bama when i need him

Lee "wack a mole" Loader around 2012 followed by a Lee 2 cavity tumble lube Lee 38 bullet mold. Moved up to a Lee Classic Cast turret press once I had the endless supply of my own cast bullets

I passed the Lee Loader onto a co-worker a few years back, along with a box of 500 bullets, a hundred cases, jug of powder and some primers. Last I heard they were hitting gun shows to stock up on brass to keep their 38 revolver well supplied. And thus the madness spreads.

1978 - Used my Dad's 12 guage Lee loader from the 1950s with Federal paper hulls so that I could make shells for my 870. We were 18 yrs old with a child on the way. Rabbits both fresh and frozen appeared on our table many times to stretch the budget. I liked squirrels, but the wife wouldn't touch them.
