its a dillion progressive, i found it used at a garage sale with a bunch of extras, he threw in like 10,000 brand new 45auto brass, probably about a 1000 bullets total, some primers, some powder, a tumbler with the media, dies, a scale, extra powder funnel, all for $700, and he couldn't of been a nicer guy and was just happy to give it to someone who's going to use it, i tallied up the total parts from prices i got off the internet, and it comes out to about $2700 worth of stuff. so look out for one more junkie picking up brass pretty soon

WOW great find. I am worried about the 45 brass though. If you want to send it to me I would be happy to fire it all one time to make sure it's OK. :D Congratulations.

Two months ago at an estate sale I got a barely used Dillon Square Deal with the 9mm dies. $37.00.

I went back and for $75 got a 1000 9mm bullets, 1000 10 mms, 200 8mm (the rifle), 200 new norma cases for the 7.62 X 59, 500 9mm brass, 200-300 .223 brass (haven't counted yet), RCBS and Redding Dies for 303 Brit, 7.62 X 54, .223, , Wilson cartridge guages for .45, 9mm, 10 mm, chamfer and primer cleaners, all sizes of shell holders, tons of other stuff. I will probably go to hell for this one.:neener:

Dillon totally refurbished the press for $59 (if I remember). I sent it in and it was back in less than 2 weeks. :cool:

Seems my grandfather is winding down on his reloading, just wants to reload for rifle now, so a couple of months ago he just up and gave me his 550B with 9mm dies, an extra toolhead, and about five pounds worth of pistol powder (#5, #7, W231, Red Dot, Unique).

Right now I have no place to put the stupid thing, or funds to buy bullets and primers. I have close to 4000 pieces of 9mm brass calling out to be loaded, and probably enough powder to use in 'em, but my wife says if we save any more money reloading, we'll go broke...
