I was in the market for a reloader and seriously considering a Hornady LNL AP. I was looking at the classifieds and happened upon an ad for a Dillon 550 with some accessories. The accessories ended up being a single stage RCBS, 5 powder drop stations for the Dillon, at least 15 sets of dies, a case trimmer, RCBS electronic scale, a couple thousand primers, more brass than I can count, boxes of bullets, hand primer, loading manuals and several items I have yet to identify. The only necessities I noticed missing were powder (he poured it out - probably wouldn't have used it as it was stored in an outside room) and a tumbler.
A couple questions, with many more to follow I am sure. Should I trust the primers? They were stores in an outside room, in south Louisiana. High heat as well as humidity. Am I correct in assuming the worst can happen is a failure to fire? Also, how to verify the accuracy of the scale?
There was a previous thread I asked questions on and decided as a newbie at reloading the best course for me was a progressive and using it to load a single shell at a time until I become comfortable. Thanks to all here for contributing their knowledge. What did people do before the internet? lol
