Oh, yuck! Rest up and know that prayers ascend - for healing and patience. It's gotta hurt having that new toy still in the box and you can't play with it!

Seriously? I need to pay $91 + shipping (call it $100) so I can get a plastic tray to hold bullets? Bye, Dillon - you totally lost me as a customer

I believe the tray is cast aluminum powder coated blue and can double as a step to climb up into your monster pick up when you're not reloading.

Hope you get to feeling better soon. It IS reloading city here.

So what is your impression now that you've had a couple of month's experience with it? I've been thinking about one of these for my 45 reloads and keeping the single stage solely for the 30-06 I do. Have been noticing a lot of buzz about these over the past month or two on several forum.

I did find a way to REALLY get in trouble with the other half.... made a nice purchase at an estate sale with about 60 lbs of powder, 70 die sets, 30K primers, and 20 or 30K bullets. It did not go over well when I started unloading the truck!

Yeah, the first part is kinda rough. I did the same thing a few years ago and filled up my van at an estate sale. I kept the Dillon 550b, the Dillon case cleaner the die sets I wanted and a few odds and ends and sold all the rest on Ebay. Made twice plus what I paid for all of it at the estate sale. My other half did a quick about face and hasn't given me any more grief about my reloading; just an ocassional "Do you really have to carry that thing everywhere you go?"

Now I've got to get a .308, I guess......
