Agreed - the home depot would work - also Harbor Freight has one on sale for $99 it comes with a power strip, backing (peg board) and a light! Otherwise, you can make your own pretty easily - lots of plans around to do this - I make my own

550b (not the auto 650 since I wouldn't buy one as my first press anyway) is what I learned on - I abhor the single stage presses - seems like a waste of effort and time. I know the argument of learning, but you can learn just as much from each stage on a progressive non auto advancing press...

Thx all - yah some really good suggestions - much appreciated. Is the Ruger Single Six in 22 allowed in SASS? Didn't think you could use one that small caliber? Went to the LGS and looked at a few - both of us liked the Rock Island 1911 XT-22 (349.99), Browning Buck Mark (419.99), and the...

I've zero experience with 22 lr, and could use some advice/suggestions on which to consider in my purchase. Used is fine with me - I have no problem going to a pawn shop/gun show or whatever to find a used one. The criteria is kinda odd as the purpose of the purchase is primarily to enter...

Brought home the Browning Black Label - 1911 in .380 - love it as my CCW! Wife bought Taurus PT 786 .380 as her pocket gun - using my Taurus Pt 111 millennium as a trade in. Could have sworn that gun was mine LOL

thx all - your responses are greatly appreciated

I know many people (including myself) don't put much stock in HF tools. However, IMO it's a good place to pick up some incidentals as well as an opportunity for new reloaders just starting out to obtain some decent gear. There's a parking lot sale this weekend, but here are a few items I found...

I feel your pain, I am building a few cases to display some of my guns in my reloading room - which very few people ever get to see. +1 this If you don't belong to a club - what about starting one? I'm thinking of doing similar. There aren't any real gun clubs in my area, so I've been...

I don't find it out of the realm of possibilities. I've let friends use my reloading stuff all the time - they supply all their own components. Let's face it, the start up cost to reloading can be prohibitive to some: $400-500 or more Press $50-75$ die - 1 caliber $50-$100 Scale $50...

Just wondering if anyone has had experience converting an AR to an alternate caliber such as a 45 ACP? I think most of these AR rifles (I have no experience with them BTW) come in .223/5.56 caliber yes? I like these Ruger AR-556 guns (actually I like the price ;) ) but I'm really not...

Grats - I have incredible will power - bought 1 dillon in 1996 and still have 1 - the wife however, is not wanting me to buy another - go figure ;)

I've kinda missed Ca. for the last 11 years - seems I got out just in time. I guess soon, the only to protect yourself in ca. will be to hire the thugs who have all the illegal guns.

Grats on a nice score - now how come I never find a score like that, Hmm? ;)

+1 this OT... Beautiful dog! Rotts are my fav ;)

The wife and I are currently preparing for this SHTF scenario and discuss it regularly during our reloading sessions... We're by no means hard core preppers, but you never know seeing how the world is falling apart at the moment As far as on hand, we feel comfortable with about 1000 of each...
