And to be perfectly clear, they’re not the exact same dies, but rather give me the capability to reload the same calibers on different machines.2 is 1 ... 1 is none
The lot after that went for 750Holy crap. No reloaders over there in AZ?
6.7 cents is a great deal by today’s standards. Expensive pre Rona of course.
surprised no one bid higher
I think I did well. Got the press with all the extras, 4k 9mm bullets, 25k primers, 8 lb pistol powder and a bunch of other "stuff"
Kept it just under $5k
Will post picts when I get it on Monday.
Had an old Lee, very old, broke it many times with stuck cases. I did run about 10k 223 in it, always dreamed of owning a Dillion. First I had to get rid of the old wife, now I got a new wife, totally on board. I showed her my guns when we met, she said "where are the rest of them?"wait until you get your first stuck case...you’re going to love reloading
that’s a hell of an investment...but you made the right choice with Dillon. Every problem I’ve ever had with either mine have been resolved within a week and a quick phone call or email to their warranty department.
I held off ‘going blue’ until I ran into a really sweet deal on my 550b ($250 w/4 conversions/quick changes/carbide doe sets + bullets and powder!) but I’ll never look back. I don’t reload enough ‘volume’ to justify a bigger press for rifle cases, and my square deal B pumps out pistol as fast as I really need it to.
from what I hear, the 650 is quite a bit faster and has a lot more options available. When/if the 750’s come around in stock and readily available again, I might kick around the idea of buying one for .223/9mm, but will probably talk myself out of it again since I’m already running out of space on my reloading bench.
That’s nonsense. I ship/receive them all the time. Just don’t put a return address on the package, or if you do, use the same address you’re sending them to. If the package is intercepted and you get a call to go pick it up, don’t show up. They’d have a hell of a time trying to prove you bought them unless you. If I had a nickel for every time I saw you post this on CMP, I’d probably have a dollar though.
Lol, if I had a nickel for everything I was not supposed to do...........
You ‘officially’ need a special permit to even ship hazmat in the US. FedEx and UPS will ship them, but USPS ‘will not’ (knowingly) ship them.
I was considering selling all of the 45 ACP bullets, 10K large pistol primers and a complete Dillon 45 ACP setup but wife just put her foot down and said we are not selling anything! LOL I think she was diddling herself in my new reload room last night!
Yup...she’s a keeper.I was considering selling all of the 45 ACP bullets, 10K large pistol primers and a complete Dillon 45 ACP setup but wife just put her foot down and said we are not selling anything! LOL I think she was diddling herself in my new reload room last night!
The funny thing is she never started. We bought the machine for like $25 bucks at an auction last year. It had a broken gear which took 6 months to get, now I am (was) in the process of re-timing the machine, big PITA! It does make a good table when all folded up, lol. I dont think she will ever use it, all in I have $45 invested so no big deal, got to throw her a bone now and then.
My guess is that the next picts on my reloading room will be less one sewing machine!
DOT requires you to be trained in hazmat/dangerous goods shipping if I recall. And you’d need an hazmat endorsement/account with UPS/FedEx. At my previous job I had annual hazmat shipping training as we used to ship hazmat/dangerous goods frequently. It was somewhat of a pain in the ass to do.
