Hello all. New poster here looking to get his reloading bench productive again. My uncle bought me a RCBS partner press kit back in 1995, which I used until I moved to San ANtonio in 2001. I have been reloading for my M70 (30-06) and also for some hunting cluub friends in NC. I haven't even setup my stuff on the bench since I moved because I havent really had the oppertunity to hunt or shoot because of other life stuff like college, kids, wife, etc... I ran out of reloads this past deer season and had to buy a box of ammo. I was disgusted, but happy to be hunting. ANyway, I need a press. It appears that my old partner press, while not the best, has been lost somehow. So has my 5-0-5 scale. I also need the collets for my case trimmer too!. I was shopping over at Midway (man that websight has grown since 1997) for a press and I am contemplating a Lee classic http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpag...eitemid=317831. It is much cheaper than what I really want, a rock crusher. Will it accept my RCBS dies? Will it perform as well as a rock crusher?

Also, I have one more question. I have several pounds of powder that have been opened but been stored indoors. All of it rifle powders (RE-19, win760, IMR 4831, etc..). Are they still safe to use?

thx in advance
