With my job I do a ton of driving, from service call to service call. Some days I am 10 miles from home and other days I am 400 miles from home. I see a lot of signs for garage sales all summer long, if I have time I will stop at some. Yesterday I was about 200 miles from home working and saw some signs. I like the garage sales away from the cities you never know what you will find. The first one I stopped at didn’t have much. I was getting ready to leave and then I saw them, a bunch of Hornady dies the red boxes jumped out at me. There was a decent size pile of reloading stuff there. Most of it was junk, someone really didn’t take care of there stuff. All of the stuff was sitting on a big white box. I figured it was an old rusty press considering everything else was junk. I asked the guy what was in the box. He said all he knew was it was unopened and it says press on it. I got all the junk off of it and wouldn’t you know it. An unopened Dillon 550B. We opened the box and it looked like it was all there. I asked how much. He said $100 and I said I will give you $55 and I get one of these little blue boxes (9mm Caliber conversion kit). He said deal and I had trouble keeping the huge smile in. I got to talking to him and he said he bought the house as a foreclosure and the people that walked away from it left a bunch of stuff in it. He didn’t even know what that big pile of stuff was. I explained to him a little about what he had and went on my way. I think I got a good deal what to you think?
I spent last evening setting it up. I have about 600 cases belled and primed, so I just skipped station #1 and cranked out 100 rounds after set up. I think I am going to like my new press.
