Greetings From South East Michigan

Post by Dalerj »

Hi To all,
I am a long time reloader. First Mold was for a .58 Minie ball when I was 18 in 1965. Then a .257 mold for

my Dad's 257 Roberts. Lots more in the next 40+years.

My Wife and I belong to a Primitive skills group (Great Lakes Primitives Gathering) . We are involved in

mostly Pre-Columbian skills that include fiber arts, flint knapping, basket making, wood crafts , Atlatl,

Primitive archery, trapping, and other early survival skills. Many members of our group are hunters and

fishermen; this spills over into reloading as a skill, and naturally boolit casting.


We have quite a bit of Lee equipment. She has a Lee single stage press and priming tool along with powder

measures. I have several Lee presses and a lot of Lee Dies along with some Lee molds and other

equipment. (Main press is a Lee classic turret press)

The Main press is well used with about 30,000 rounds through it. I have replaced the ratchet square once

at 18,000 rounds and a spring in the small pistol priming feeder at 20,000 rounds.

Thanks for this site and allowing me to join. Thanks, Dale
