Reloading shops in NWI

[Ericpwp]

I was conflicted. Be self-serving or get Dave more business.

I can't say I get down there a lot, but I never have seen the shelves that empty.

Nothing but empty shelves man. He said he was embarrassed about it and that he normally has a lot of stuff. Availability was hurting his business.

Its still on my hit list if I need something. Should be good for awhile since the fun show had everything I needed.

Kempfs gun shop in Michigan City. They usually have a decent supply of primers and powders, but I think most of their presses and accessories are Lee. Some Lyman thrown into the mix as well.

Go with Dillon You can't go wrong IMO. Sq D for pistol and 550 for rifle/pistol

I hadn't heard of Granger guns, I googled them and one of the reviews from about a year ago said they were closing soon?

I know they were talking about selling out last spring (2014) but I think sell must of fell through, haven't heard any thing lately

Are Dillon 650 xl presses realy that much better that a hornady LNL? I figured that they were alot like dating a model, nice to show your friends and talk about but requires alot more special attention, moody and anything you do is going to be expensive. I'm A big fan of not as flashy, hard working with minimum issues and cost. I have been lead twords hornady from dillon guys, any constructive ideas? I already have a 3 hole lee and 15 die sets for it.

I believe your dies will work in either the Horn or the Dill 550 or 650. The Dill Square Deal uses its own dies.

Be nice if you could put your hands on both and give them a try. Think about your needs and make a decision.

Not going to get any price breaks on Dillon although customer support and parts are always going to be there. I know the Dillon will handle mass volume. Don't have any experience with Horn other than their bullets.

The hornady LNL progressive press is the one I use. I've loaded at least 25,000 rounds with only one part breaking. I called them up, super friendly staff and they sent it out next day really no questions. I think if you were going to sell stuff, you'd have to go with dillon. I can get my hornady press at Cabela's, Amazon.com or any other place so going to be hard to be competitive. Need a local dillon dealer since the only place you can get one is online.

Hmm, looks like northwest indiana needs a reloading shop. Someone should open one up.

There was one in merrillville, shemas....but it closed

Carries about everything Lee. The only non-Lee stuff I saw was things Lee did not make, this was a few years ago.

Heard that for years new and that they would close soon if not sold for about 2 years.

Jim Shema's, I loved that place. I bought my first bow and my first gun there.

 

[Brian Ski]

Since nobody mentioned it... And I know it is just over the state line in Niles. The Firing Pin has some reloading stuff. It has been a long time since I have been there. I have seen lately they are advertising on TV.

 

[Tp222]

Is the only dillon dealer in indiana down in indy or is one close to the region?

 

[red_zr24x4]

I was recently told that Len's gun shop( now just reloading) in South Bend carries Dillon stuff but he's expensive
