My cartridges are vintage, but the working parts aren't. Those are some vintage components, been a while since I've seen powder in a steel drum. Still have some stuff labeled Hercules.

We're still loading out of 2 metal 5lb cans of 700X and a 1lb cardboard can of Red dot

I've got a couple of the cardboard drums of 2400 I'm working out of. Emptied my steel drum of Dupont 3031 a long time ago, I use it as bar decoration.

I don't do the whack-a-mole thing, but I have some reloading components stored away that are older than my son, who graduates from college this year. I also load for some cartridges that are very old, but all of the working components I actually use today are of recent vintage.

I've used up all my stock of cardboard canned Hercules powder except for about half a pound of Reloader 7. Unique is my go to powder for a lot of calibers, 44/40, 45 Colt, and 45 ACP especially, use an eight pound keg a year. It's vintage, been around since about 1900 I think.

How old does the handloader have to be before qualifying as vintage - 70, 80, 90?

Hah! Loaded many a round of 308 and 30 carbine with those old Lee Loaders. Nothing like getting a little carried away seating the primer and POP!
