True Line Juniors
« on: January 15, 2012, 04:42:10 PM »
I found myself reloading some .38 specials on the old True Line Junior that i bought waaaaaay back then, and wondering if there were many others still living a productive life? Though I have several other presses, I can leave it set up and ready to go when needed and it makes a good place to mount my powder measure. It is also a great place to remember hunts long gone that home grown 30/40 Craigs and many other cartridges were made on. Guess sentimentle reasons have kept it on my bench. What about yours? Any more out there?

My first reloading press was a Lymon  True Line Jr which I purchased in 1953. I reloaded ammo for my Win Mdl 70 270 and 38 Sp S&W untill the hole that fitted around the main shaft of the cartridge carrier was oblong.  It was a good starter press for me.

Yup, your right! But like J. Wayne said in one of his movies, DON'T COUNT THIS FAT OLD MAN OUT YET!
