I'm 72 had two heart attacks at 53, and........ those two babies changed my outlook on life completely!! I had a lifeless marriage and got divorced after 23 years, got out of a job that was killing me and changed my lifestyle/outlook and appreciation for life completely. I've got thirty-years of law enforcement behind me, I can tell you that they certainly took their tole on my body. I cannot walk like I used to or get around as well as I used to, don't focus on what I cannot do, but what I can do!! One of my favorite pass times is shooting and reloading. This forum got me in to precision reloading. If you can afford the high quality equipment then by all means buy the best. Just bought a new RCBS Supreme press and did spend around $350 for a set of dies though. I could not afford the best of equipment for measuring ogive dimensions and bump dimensions, bought the less expensive one as I only use them infrequently. In my opinion reloading is a process where one does not ever really stop spending money, but.....as someone posted on there, "You cannot take it with you!"
