So what do you think? Did I do well for $1000?

Now I just have to get on purchasing a strong mount, roller handle, some more pickup tubes, a 9mm setup, bullet tray, primer low buzzer and I'm sure about 50 other things. hahahah

 

[redneckmedic]

I would say yes, but condition is important and I would PM Indygunworks, he happens to be the INGO Dillon Defer to member.

 

[chrismw5551]

Give you an idea....I recently purchased a new dillon 550 with bullet tray, empty case tray, and strong mounts for 600.00. With everything else thrown in and if condition is near excellent, I would guess it is a fair price.

 

[SWAMPMASTER]

More than a fair price

 

[bigcraig]

Thats a deal, I would jump on it.

 

[42769vette]

with all that included its a good deal. if you dont plan to reload some of those calibers you could unload some of the extra components on here

 

[antsi]

It's a very good deal if the dies and components are ones you want and will use.

$900 is a bit steep for a used press, scale, and tumbler. However, all those dies, conversion kits, bullets, powder, primers, and brass would probably cost pretty close to what the press, scale, tumbler, etc would cost if you bought them new.

A lot of the value there is tied up in .223/5.56 - dies, components; and a powder that's ideal for that caliber. If .223/5.56 is one of the main calibers you shoot, you should jump on this deal.

If you primarily shoot different calibers than those listed, then the dies and components are just "throw-ins" for you. You could buy the lot and sell off the stuff you won't use, but there's a hassle factor there and it would take it down from a really great deal to a decent/fair deal.

 

[whiskeytangofoxtrot]

That is a very good price for the whole group. The super swager costs a pretty penny, and the components to good for it since they are scarce. You could always part out what you will not use also.

I'd jump on it.

 

[millsusaf]

That is what I thought. I'm just getting into reloading so I wasn't sure.

Now I just have to sell my AK kits to fund it. : /

 

[IndyGunworks]

I would definatly be on that deal... while a bit much up front you are getting about everything you need to get started asap... some of that stuff is stuff i wished i had when i started out but have taken me a few years to accumulate... anything you dont want you will most definatly be able to offload on here.... let us know.... if you need someone to check the stuff out before you buy to make sure its in good order just shoot me a PM i would be more than happy to help you out.

Plus i can help you out and get you on your way with reloading

Let me know if you need someone to build you a reloading bench (customizable)

What are those going for these days redneckmedic?

 

[JByer323]

I would be all over it.

 

[redneckmedic]

What are those going for these days redneckmedic?

Materials and some change, I think we did Indygunworks for less than $50, pm him for pics. I highly recomned the strong mount, just from a builds perspective and I am sure 10x for the reloader!

 

[IndyGunworks]

No PMs neccessary here they are with a couple pics of some of my other tools as well

And the press with the HIGHLY reccomended STRONG MOUNT

Beam scale and powder trickler

Powder drop

and case trimmer

 

[samrothstein01]

Indygunworks, I was at your place for the reloading class, that is a heck of a set up. I am working on getting my bench up, my press has been in a box for several years. I just don't have near as much room as you do! I am hoping to be up and running in the next couple of weeks. I need to get a few accessories to get going, some case prep tools and stuff, but I have all the major components.

I was curiuos what redneckmedic was getting for his benches, as I wouldn't mind a different bench than the one I have picked out, but it should do for now.

Thanks all, didn't mean to hijack the thread!

P.S. - I would be all over the OP deal!!

 

[millsusaf]

Shameless bump.

Reloading porn in the OP.

 

[pointer]

I would have to say that is a great deal

 

[millsusaf]

Is it all still such a deal without the Dillon Super Swagger, 3 cans of One Shot lube and some spare parts?

Somewhere along the line between me buying it from the guy, my friend picking it up from him and storing it those items have been lost. I've been in contact with both parties and naturally they both say they don't have them.

My friend wouldn't steal from me and even if he did he has no reason to only take lube and a super swagger. The guy I bought the stuff off of is a nice old guy and I don't think he swiped them either.

Who the hell knows where they are, all I know is I'm out about $120-140 worth of crap.

Pisses me off!

Tisk, Tisk Indy! Don't you know smoking and reloading don't mix!

Oh I forgot, the Gooberment is gonna save us with FSC's!
