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.
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.
.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...
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...
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...
Progressive Bi-focals, astigmatism and 50 years old. I feel ya! Since Cedartop and I last trained together I have also been diagnosed with a type of epilepsy so I take $$$ medication that effectively slows down my brain. So front sight focus and how quickly my eyes refocus is greatly...
Your wife lets you anywhere near the kitchen table with brass? one time I took mine out of the wet tumbler and laid them on towels in front of the fireplace. Cats kicked it all over the family room and I caught hell for a week.
It could happen. Knock on wood it hasn’t happened to me yet. But keep in mind you have to flip the stations forward to make room for a new case, and powder running all over the press is a pretty good indication of a double charge. My recommendation would be to mount a light so you see into...
If my reloading setup blew away today and I had to replace with new, I would buy a Dillon 550 and a Rock Chucker. The 550 will do everything you need outside of a fully automated machine. Having a single stage bolted to the bench is just to darn handy.
