    Finally! After 4 weeks of waiting my Dillon Square Deal B is on its way. Got right through to Dillon tonight (was on hold for a bit but got right through) and Dave said it was shipped out 2 days ago and should see it any day now. Cant wait to get reading and reloading. Only thing missing is more spp. Sitting on 1k but that goes quick.

    I stopped reloading about 2 years ago, and am now wishing I still had my equipment. Congrats on the Dillon, I have had nothing but good service from them.

    I had a SDB set up for 45ACP. It was a great piece of equipment never failed me. I sold off a lot of equipment a few years back after retiring and relocating.

    It JUST came via Fed-Ex. Its a lot smaller than I thought it would be. I also got the vib., media and tumbler with it. I've already read through the manual twice but cant find the recipe for the powder I already bought, I know Hornady has it in there book, oh well gives me an excuse to visit this gun shop,lol. Cant wait til' warmer weather to clean out and transform my garage to my new reloading room.

    Well I shouldn't say whats the point, I just hate practicing being of first time reloader when spp are non existent right now. I'm not even going to start re loading until spring time any ways.

    Bought Clay Universal and going to be reloading primarily 380 auto but also .40 s&w

    Hodgdon makes a "Clays" powder and a "Universal" powder. You got one of those?

    Clays is pretty fast for 380 and 40S&W, while Universal is a pretty good choice. I'm a big fan of Power Pistol because of the load density and versatility it offers.

    I have one other question for those with multiple SDB dies. How do I set up my .40 cal on the additional tool head. There was nothing in the manual or on line, Ive been on the comp. all day trying to find out how to set up additional dies. I would think there would be tolerances like the bullet seating depth. Any help would be great.
