      Dillon 550c Setup and Startup

      You mean this rod? It’s straight in the picture, but the measure I use on my pistol dies has an Armanov quick disconnect. The powder measure pivots freely and the rod is not always straight up and down. Lube your cases! It’s worth the hassle. Get a shoe box and some Hornady One Shot case...

      Why all the hate on .40

      The thread lives!!! Law Enforcement moved away from .40 S&W because of budgets. A secondary consideration was more smaller statured shooters. The terminal performance and capacity argument is simply justification for their actions. Departments had an opportunity to trade in old guns on new...

      WTS: 5’x8’ Cargo Trailer

      Bump. Mowing lawns and home improvement projects are in full swing.

      Should I sell?

      Most rifle dots are 2-3 MOA. So minute of red dot.

      Should I sell?

      What rifle do you have? And what is the definition of accurate vs inaccurate? I have never tried different ammo in my AR. I figure if it shoots within a couple of inches at 50-100 yards it is well within minute of red dot. Especially with my astigmatism.

      Looking for privately owned land to shoot on.

      Lot of liability involved letting people shoot on private property. That applies to clubs as well as individuals.

      I'm thinking of clearing out the gun safes a bit, again. Anyone else do this?

      When I croak all my guns go to my son. He likes guns. He can keep what he wants and whatever else he can do with as he pleases. My guess is a couple of texts to my friends and those will be gone.

      Well the wife and I might have an opportunity to downsize homes about 6 years earlier than planned. If that happens I might be shedding pounds.

      So.. what are you reloading at the moment??

      This weekend it was .45 ACP. 200 grain LSWC over 4.8 grains Bullseye.

      Small Pistol Primer .45 brass is annoying!

      It isn’t too bad on Dillon 550. You feel the primer not going in and can pull the case. Since I was left with a small pile of sized SPP brass I just pressed in the primers off the press and fed them through. I am assuming they will go bang.

      Single Stage/Turret/Progressive

      .38, .45 & .308 still make sense to reload. Or if you are looking for any type of specific loads for match purposes. I have a couple of soft, reliable 130 PF 9mm loads. But bulk 9mm and .223 might as well buy it right now. Unless the components are already bought and paid for in which case...

      Single Stage/Turret/Progressive

      This made me giggle. I get your point. But bad analogy. Hiring someone to mow your grass = buying 9mm by the case. Which by the way really isn’t any more expensive then current price of components. Buying a Dillon 550 is more like buying a nice self propelled lawnmower instead of pushing...

      Selling an SR1911

      That sounds like a fair trade. Congrats.

      Les Baer, Ed Born, Wilson Combat or other

      I haven’t spent enough time with my Baer to form a good opinion. But it is tight and very accurate. My Dad liked it better then my Wilson. I would put Nighthawk at the top of the heap. Baer is the best overall value. Wilson is pretty much a high end production line at this point, but...
