Right on. I just ordered a Dillon 550 with my tax return. Should be here anyday. Got her in .45acp and .223 :biggrin:
Crap! No more free brass for me now! :cray: :cray:
Oh and by the way uncle sam didn't give you money. He was just returning "Some" that he'd already taken.
Scrounge it at the range like I do. I have buckets of it here. Typically I come out ahead with brass after a range session.Crap! No more free brass for me now! :cray: :cray:
Don't remind me. I did my rebate forms today, I'm getting quite a bit back this year thanks to the first time home buyer credit. Some of it is already spent at MidwayUSA last week.Oh and by the way uncle sam didn't give you money. He was just returning "Some" that he'd already taken.
Well I bit the bullet today to... start reloading. Uncle Sam gave me some money and I just did it. Got every thing I need to start loading 45cal and 40cal. I will add 9mm and 223 later and maybe others. I got the LEE Classic press kit, two turrets, 4 piece die kits for 45cal and 40cal, bullet puller, tumbler with media and polish, 1lb of accurate #2 powder, and 200 rounds of 40cal for $417.00. The only thing I need now is primers.
Tax returns come from our interest free savings accounts. Congrats on the new equipment, guys. I plan on getting a .308 set up for my 550.
I went with Lee dies for .308. They are about half the price of Dillon dies and seem to accomplish the same thing. The Lee factory crimp die is supposed to be much better than the Dillon crimp die. I have my dies sets all set up on separate toolheads, which makes die changes real easy.
One of the benefits to the 550B over the Square Deal B is that the 550 can use standard dies from any manufacturer. The SDB uses special dies only available from Dillon.
