Just getting back ready to start reloading again-it has been over thirty yrs since loading shotshells. Will be mounting my presses onto 2X8s which will mount to the desk top with wingnuts. If I ever have to move them it will be no trouble. Just picked up a Lyman turrent that am anxious to try out. My lead melter is an old plumbers tank mounted burner with laddles but a friend is sending me an old furnace. Hope to find time to get things started very soon. Will be looking for lots of advice asap as I am ignorant of everything on the subject. Will be loading 45s/38/357/'06/51s/and hopefully some 39s if I can find boxer casings. Am going to try redoing some Berdan primer pockets when there is time(lol, maybe next winter). Thanks for a real nice site and if any are close to NC/SC we are having a wee gathering next weekend 24-26 April. PM if interested in coming or wanting info on the fall one. wc

Thanks for the return howdies and invitation to "get off my horse" "fer ah spell". Have had the site on my favorites for quite awhile but hope to spend a bit more time here. Nearing retirement and hope to be able to spend a bit more time doing things that I really want to. Later gents, wc

Hi HFisher, Went to Montreat-Anderson at Black Mt. for awhile till I got bored and joined the Marines--LOL, was not bored afterwards. Live East of Charlotte about 50 miles out in what used to be the country. Our survival gathering is next weekend if you are in the area. We have one twice a year and hope you can make one. The hills are not as pretty as the mts. but we don't have snow everyday either. Just rolling hills with a few lever acres here and there. wc
