Hi from Illinois
Just thought I'd say hi and thanks for letting me join.
Been reloading for around 35 years. The only stuff I use for loading is Lee except for one set of Rcbs cowboy dies and a Redding crimp die, both for 44-40, and a Frankford Arsenal digital scale.
Been casting nearly as long. Didn't take long to figure out that if I was going to shoot my cowboy calibers much, I had to cast for them too! (Back then I could reload a box of 45 colt for less than I could buy 22 lr! Ahh, the good ol days, lol.

Re: Hi from Illinois
Welcome from ......ummm the middle of my cross country move I guess .....
Well , welcome from somewhere between Reno and Texarkana .
Yep casting is a cost saver ...... Says the guy with 8 moulds in 454 and 5 more in 458 ......
I don't think I have fewer than 3 in any caliber outside of 6mm , 338 ,366 , 429 , 480 from 22-50 . Saving me a bundle .
