Reloading
Do you remember the first centerfire rifle you fired and do you reload for that caliber today?

[QUOTE="Dr. Richard Gray, post: 2512659, member: 111239"] My first centerfire were 2 Winchester 94's, 26 in octagon barrel. I purchased both guns while overseas in the Navy. This gun is heavy (11 lbs with scope). Still have them and still reload for them. Still have my first Lee hand loader; I have used an RCBS press now for over 50 years. Two incidents are very vivid in my mind yet today. The first time I shot at a ground hog, I rested the rifle on a loader bucket and when I squeezed the trigger the scope hit me right between the eyes, broke my glasses and left a bruise. The second incident was from horseback. I had shot my Winchester 290 (.22 LR) from horseback prior to my service and I wanted to be like the TV cowboys with this 30-30. Big mistake, needless to say I was dumped on the ground, you had to know my horse! So yeh, I still shoot them, rarely anymore. I will never sell these 2 guns for sentimental reasons. [/QUOTE]
