I don't reload but thought I might give it a try with .357 and .44 using these,you can find them for around $25.00 each. finding powder, primers and bullets looks to be a problem though,anyone here still use these.

I no longer use one, but that is how my reloading began in the 1970s. It will work well and slowly. My .38 and .45 Lee loaders came in cardboard boxes.

Just be careful seating primers and wear safety glasses,they do load good rounds,though slowly. My first .45 colt loads were with those.

Get a wooden mallet or a rawhide one. It ia a lot of work and many chances that the loaded cartridge will be tight in the chamber. Also hard to get every load the same. Takes you back to the frontier,, loadingbwith a winchester hand tool.

My first reloading was the same way. I since have upgraded equipment. Seeing that set takes me back a few years though. Thanks for the reminder.

I use the primer remover from one of those kits all the time to unstick my RCBS handprimer when one turns wrong.

can u guys point me in the direction of some reloading components. I have lots of brass but have been unable to find powder, primer or bullets. I have looked at all the obvious places like cabelas, basspro,midway, ect.
