Anyone Remember Dick Scherer & Son in Sacramento.
I picked up some reloading equipment from a guy who buys abandoned storage lockers. I found a Lee die set with the Dick Scherer & Son label. I used to get 1lb zip lock bags of powder from them for around $12. He weighs it in front of you in a small zip-lock bag. I miss the old days.

Remember them. And Old Sac Armory in the 1980's...

I got most of my reloading stuff at Wild Sports back in the day, and J&G when they were on Vernon in Roseville.

J&G is still around over in Granite Bay...

There used to be a guy in Sac that did air rifle repairs, had sights and other stuff. I had him rebuild my Dad's early 1950's Benjamin/Sheridan Silver Streak, back in the late 1980's.

I think it was Gary Thiry...

I used to deliver campus mail for CSU-Sacramento as a college job. My route would take me to Gary Thiry and Old Sac both on J then coming back Dick Scherer. Never had the money for anything,but I learned a lot just by looking and talking to the people the ran the shops. Finland Captured nagants were $49 at Old Sac.
