Not sure I'd consider mine "match ammo" but sure does feel and perform like it for me.

I have an RCBS JR-3 press. I think it's from 1970-something but really not sure. Dad picked it up at an auction in 2008 for $12.50 (yes, I have the receipt).

I have an old school powder measure.

I have RCBS dies, none that are carbide. I don't mind greasing the cases and then cleaning them.

The press has a place for a rod for dispensing the primers versus a hand primer.

Oh, my scales are also old school, simple style with 20W oil or something like that to slow the paddle down when I measure the powder.

Hubby bought me a small set of digital calipers so I can make sure my total length (bullet + case) isn't over the spec. I don't check all since the dies are set but I do have to check when I switch from case lead bullets to bought slightly flat nose jacketed ones.

I think that's about it.

Not bad RD. Self taught or did Daddy-O help ya out ?

Thanks. Of course Dad helped me, but I did remember some things from when I was a little girl helping him. Funny how things like this stick with you - kind of like riding a bicycle.

It's great because he gets to share something he loves with his daughter along with us spending time with each other. Win-win.

My local favorite gun shop had themselves a little sale today (through Sunday). My wallet is a little lighter now.

Smith and Wesson was on sale for a damn fine price. Picked up a sweet Model 637 at a very nice price. Also got a month of free range time with it. I'll be abusing that perk.

Also picked up some Winchester Ranger rounds to go into my Glock. I've heard very good things about these.

Bought some Hogue grips for the 1911. I snapped the shit out of the cheap-o fake wood ones. Luckily, the Hogue grips feel way better.

Free shit from the vendors!

@RD - Good stuff!!! Gotta love win-win's like that.


@Big C - Yeah gotta say I love the Hogues I put on my Sig 229, the gun felt great before, felt amazing afterwards. And who doesn't love free shit from vendors? ;)

Newest purchase from today. A sweet little Mosin Nagant at another great price. I'm glad the gun shop is done with their sales. My bank account is hurting. No more guns for a while, unfortunately.

Picked this up today. My very first ray gun! LOL

It's a Beretta Neos U22. Should be nice for general plinking.

Hey! I got me a Mosin too!


And nice lil' .22 there G-Rex.

I was at a distributor on friday they those for $79 is the cosmo, and tins of 496? Rounds of ammo for the the same money. Some days it sucks to be left handed.

I'm left handed too. I just try to conquer and overcome as best I can. I haven't seen much out there that's a truly left handed gun. :td:
