Poll: How long have you been reloading?

[lpspinner]

Just curious how long people have been reloading?

Me....I've been reloading for 27 years now.

Wish I'd started when I started shooting. Only about 3 years here.

I believe this year is 20 or maybe next year but right in that area. Oh, and I started off reloading .357 because I wasn't old enough to buy it.

about 1967 with an RCBS Junior Press and a set of 30-06 FL dies for $29.95. Still have 'em both. Still use the press regularly.

You beat me by one year. As a kid a farmer I knew let me hunt on his land. He was into reloading and taught me. After he was satisfied I knew what I was doing, he bought me a Rock Chucker kit as a birthday present. I still have that press and use it to load rifle, works like new.

A couple of years. I wish I had started much sooner.

My former next door neighbor worked at RCBS for many years and once mentioned he received an employee discount. Kicking myself.

45 years. I started in 1967 with an RCBS Jr. press. Still have the press and I reload 22 different calibers.

Just starting and thankful that this site exists where I can ask veterans of reloading any questions.

started reloading with my Dad when I was about 13 that was in 79

Just started last October with a Lee Classic Turret. I only started so I could shoot my 45 more often. Now I also load 9mm and really enjoy my time in the garage reloading. Getting ready to start loading 223.

I got to teach myself and it was a little spooky at times down in our basement. I read a lot and breathed a huge sigh of relief after I touched off my first reloaded 30-06 round. I removed primer crimps with a primer pocket reamer and trimmed cases with a chamfering reamer.

Started in 1972 with Lyman tongs in 9mm. Graduated to a RockChucker in 1975 when I started shooting .357. Still my main press.

I also started with a RCBS Jr. press dated 1967, that I bought new and I still use it. I reload 20+ calibers.
