Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lewis F Jones" data-source="post: 3714144" data-attributes="member: 9297"><p>Reloading is absolutely and without doubt my favorite hobby.  first load was a 150Gr Sierra soft point spitzer in 30-06 with a Winchester LR Primer. Powder was IMR4895. Don't remember the powder weight since I was using was the scoop that came in the boxed Lee Loader Hammer Style! That was in 1962. Others I have in my powder safe include a .357 Mag Large primer pocket that was loaded by my grandfather who passed away in 1961. From him I inherited Shot Shells, Lead, Bee's Wax, Hundreds of LC military Brass and guns. One of the guns one is a .25 Caliber Ortgies pistol. It had been my grandmothers who carried it as a CCW since she worked at a local Hospital and arrived in the random wee hours of the day. I will still shoot but for now it resides on a zip lock bag with a few packs of desiccant and gets a full Takedown, cleaning and re-assembly just before Christmas. That was in the 50's. I also received my first rifle from Papa when I was born (1951). It was a Winchester model 61 chambered for. 22 Short, Long and Long Rifle. As the tradition goes, I had the honor of presenting that gun to my Grandson when He was born. Sorry I got of track here but it's safe to say I do have some old ones and I do shoot them occasionally, but that .357 will never be shot. It still connects me to my Papa.</p></blockquote><p></p>
