that’s cool big guy! Always lookin, always finding something to suit your needs. I like to check out the catalogs and the ads.
I do everything on one machine.

Are you getting more precision out of the Dillon products you think?

 

[ss51]

I had a Square Deal B years ago set up for 45 ACP, traded it for the 550, when grandson decided to stick with 9mm I tried to get the 550 set up for 9mm, ran into obstacles, backorders, etc. Even called Dillon and was told they were 14 weeks out for the 9mm, God was good as always and led me a place that hand NIB ones, so didn't hesitate. I am thankful! The SDB is perfect for handgun, but is so small even 223 is not doable.

Man you can crank out a lot of ammo with one!

Yah I bet 9 mm goes fast.

Got bullets from Missouri bullets and Acme in Wisconsin, little wait for Acme a lot of wait for Missouri.

You home today? That’s true with other companies too. The big ones have more of a backlog. I bought a part for a rifle it took two weeks at Mcarbo, just to ship it. But a dif. Part came from Taccom and it shipped next day.

 

[ss51]

yes, home today, pretty much any day, retired.

 

[Unqualified]

So am I. How are you getting along? Finding enough to do?

 

[ss51]

always more than enough to do! ha! One has to watch out, when people hear you are retired they will figure out things for you to do!

Sounds like you have a good life. @ss51

I just bought a new toy- feel guilty. I guess I’ll be loading on the covered back porch in the rain. Got to get my garage back. How does someone attach the lee hand press to a board?

 

[ss51]

Hand gun? RCBS had/has a little "partner" press that is an "O" style press, doesn't take much room. Partner Press | RCBS

Looks like zip ties would do it-https://www.amazon.com/LEE-PRECISION-90180-Breech-Press/dp/B0050Z5A6E/ref=dp_prsubs_3?pd_rd_i=B0050Z5A6E&psc=1

Looks like the have a "breech lock" model now as well, so you wouldn't have to do as much fiddling with setting it up for each die.

 

[Unqualified]

Yah on the less fiddling. More parts to buy. Getting any snow there? We had a little much of it didn’t stick. Less cold year I think.

 

[ss51]

we have had a 12" and a 4", storm moving in today and tonight. Just might get the new Dillon Square Deal B in 9mm set up. God was good in finding me one NIB, factory is 14 weeks out from sending but God led me to one nearby.
He delights in giving us the desires of our hearts if we will but serve Him.

 

[ss51]

February is historically the dries month of the year, perhaps because it tends to be colder the air will not hold as much moisture, and we have cold coming.

 

[Unqualified]

Yeah serving Him. He blessed me yesterday with my coworkers it was a pleasant evening. Yeah He blessed me with a gen 6 Lyman powder dispenser. Some people must be working hard and having a hard life, but if they are Christians there are blessings in there somewhere. How do people live without Jesus. But the wicked prosper. Where there is a will there is a way to a good God.

Much of my Christian life has been in mental anguish. But I have grown and it’s not so bad. Am I to believe that I only have to suffer once in a while when something bad happens? Yet life is full of low key suffering, so I guess I’m all right.

I have to move my reloading shop to the shed!
