    Shoot bobcat steel a pm, email, or phone call. He was having some Web issues last I heard. You won't be disappointed when you deal with him. He most likely has everything you will need. Plus, you can pick up a couple sweet targets while you are at it :rockwoot:

    I've spent a lot more money than I'd like to think about in the last month at Bobcat Steel. A fair chunk at Atterbury before that also. Nice folks, but my wallet is still crying.

    Problem with ordering reloading supplies is the shipping. A lot of bullet sellers will ship flat rate priority but the powder and primers require haz mat shipping costs, better to try to find those items locally or order enough to spread the haz mat fees out a bit.

    Ha ha! I heard Hornady is the only press giving Dillon a run for their money. :)

    Not to ANYONE who reloads much. Watch those classifieds and see the LNL presses for sale by too "frugal":rolleyes: competition shooters. Nothing wrong with them, but they are not near Dillons on large scale ease of loading.

    Seriously, I'd get the wife to change over to a much better investment in a blue machine. Don't listen to me, ask around.

    Ok. Forgive me since this is relatively new to be, but what makes the Dillion so much easier when it comes to large scale loading?

    RE: Bobcat Steel and IBC: Their websites are not the greatest. Just give them a telephone call and they will help you out.

    I really base my thoughts on the many LNL loaders that I've seen switch over to Dillons among the competition shooters I've shot with over the years. The Hornady's I've seen for sale in the classifieds stay listed for long time periods vs the Dillons going quick.

    Again though, don't listen to me. Ask around to high volume loaders. Hate to see you have to buy twice.

    Yeah I hear you. I just wanted your take. From the research I've done, they both seem to be the top two. Browsing other forums, I see that there are hardcore Hornady guys, and hardcore Dillon guys. Each has features the other one doesn't. Hopefully I like the Lock'N'Load. It's already wrapped for Christmas. :)

    You're in jasper county. There's a gun club that sells components in wheat field. Also Kempf in Michigan city. Buy powder and primers there and components online
