FedEx Left Me A Present

[Gluemanz28]

I sold my reloading partner's Hornady AP Press and ordered him a new Dillon XL650

He got all the bells and whistles for it. Even the Dillon Dies.

17Squirrel always pushed them because of the ease to take apart to clean and not loose the settings.
So he ordered 9mm and Fourtay. If we like them then I'm gonna switch out my Lee Dies as well for my XL650.

It will be nice having two blue machines on the bench.

I will post up pictures when it's all set up.

Looks like a lot fun

I'm betting I have to set it up like I did his last press.

Next on the list is the power trimmer to convert some of the 20K 5.56 brass to 300 BO

Congrats, amazing press

Always hated the way Dillon shipped their presses though, wish is was more discrete....way more discrete

Congrats man. Can't wait to see some pics.

I know what you mean. It was just screaming please take me.
Its a good thing the surrounding neighbors watch out for each other and at least 1/2 of them carry on a daily basis.

It sat sat there on the porch for about four hours.

I received a text from one neighbor at the same time FedEx sent a message the package was delivered.

He he said he would keep an eye on it until I got home.
$1,600 was sitting there

The cost of extra caliber keeps me away from getting one.

I got those same boxes a couple of months ago, but I was eagerly waiting by the door to get mine. New toys are always so fun! Congratulations!

nice.... wow, I'm jealous

You mean the caliber conversion kits? You quickly make up that cost! I can switch between 223 and 9mm in probably less than 5 minutes. Add another 3-5 if I have to switch primer size. The dies remain setup. I always test the first few throws of powder to make sure they match my receipe (I never have to adjust) and then I'm off to the races. If you already have the major investment made in one of these presses, the extra calibers should be no sweat!

FUN!

Coincidentally I paid Bobcat Armament a visit yesterday and picked up my first batch of supplies to start actually reloading. (I owned everything but the consumables)

So saturday after class I'll be stopping by Proteq with my chrono to test the sample test loads.

Well, its not FedEx but UPS...



Its always nice getting those big heavy boxes. I would have been interested in the Horn-AP. Looking for a 2nd.

I've got 9mm, 223 and 300BLK, with 3 power measure and tool heads for 550. I collected the parts over the years so didn't pay attention on how much they cost.

I called Dillon last week to get a quote on 45, it's $224, doesn't include shipping and failsafe rod.

Would you mind posting your street address?
Oh, and while you're at it, would you put that box back out where it is in the photo?
Oh, and please be sure to leave said box unopened.
Thanxxxxxxxxxxxxx!

Glad to see you drank the Blue Kool Aid! Once you set that 650 up and get everything set just right you will be cranking out ammo like no tomorrow.
