Back about 1962 when I got deep into the 45 ACP round in the 1911 pistol, I bought a new Lyman Tru-Line Jr. press and dies. Many, many thousand rounds were loaded before the holes in the links got oval. Somewhere along that time until today it was sold down river.
A fellow on CB came by a similar press, set up for 38 Special complete with another Lyman 55 powder measure, he didn't know what it was or how to use it. I made him an offer at a price that would be good for me, yet not take him to a skinning. I do have a conscious don't you know.
It got here today and the clean up is done. Now to figure a place to mount it in my crowded shop.
I do so love doing things the old ways. I guess that comes with being a geezer.
