I do the vast majority of my reloading on a lyman turret press, and a rcbs rockchucker. It becomes a disease, you can get alot of guns for a song because of weird calibers. I love em all, read, its the best way to start. I started with the lee kit, and putting out 222 rem. Now I reload for 222 rem, 22250, 6mm rem, 2506, 6.5x57, 6.5x06, 280 imp., 7mm weatherby mag, 308, 3006, 300 win mag, 340 weatherby mag, 338 lapua, 8mm rem mag, 375 h and h mag, 416 rem mag, 505 gibbs, 9mm, 10mm, 38 special, 357 mag, 41mag, 45 colt, and 45acp. The experimenting can almost become mad scientist, use caution, be safe, and have fun.

Went to a gun shop just outside of CAFB MS. in 1978 and that crafty store owner had me walking out of there with this RCBS reloading equipment as well as the Lyman 45th edition reloading manual.

Never saw a reason to upgrade the original reloading equipment but the bench itself has become more sophisticated... :))

BRL, that RCBS Jr. is simplistic enough in its own right and you get a heck of a lot of felt feedback as you are running your various steps!  Tons of ammo can be made with that thing.  I still use mine regularly for that feedback / feel apeal reason.

Nice!
