Once I get this, ah hum, 01 running again it's gone. Tired of throwing money at it. And I haven't had it a year yet. Can't decide weather to find another 1st gen, or roll some of it into the 92 and the rest in a disposable commuter.

Jeff, swap the tires to used and let it go for $7500! Then you have new tires for the other truck.

I got a Dillon 650 xl and started building ammo last night. Sure is a lot of fun to pull a handle and a round spits out for about half the cost of factory ammo.

So I've discovered something rather interesting. When I go from Canadian diesel to us diesel I seems I lose 20-30whp, and pick up a bunch of smoke. In Calgary (about 4k feet asl) it cleans up pretty good. Here near Missoula (32-3400 feet asl) it's hazing pretty heavy, and feels like a dog. Homeward bound tomorrow though. I had a great visit with my friend. Helped them with their move which was fun (made me glad I have a long bed as the tailgate could still be closed no matter what was loaded in there)

Watch out! You'll be burning up one of two things with at press. 1 your wallet for cartridge components or 2 your gun (watch out for double charges). Progressive presses give me the willies.

My mom went and traded the 06 in last week. Finally got the truck she ordered in November. It's really nice, just about every option. Mega cab ton single wheel with the Aisin and the air ride. Boy it rides nice and smooth. Will be nice to haul the tractor this summer.

I think people being scared of progressives is just like people being scared of tweaking a ve. Sure things CAN go wrong but the chances are almost nothing if you pay attention and do everything according to the book. Plus, Dillon sells a powder check for that very purpose. (I don't have one though.)

Plus you have to hand place each bullet onto a case. It'd be almost impossible to get a double charge since you'd notice that your just seated bullet is still in the same station.

-11 without the wind chill almost all day today. Many frozen batteries, gelled fuel and one duramax that froze the block. Why people don't check their antifreeze is beyond me, but it does keep the bills paid.

Right,but folks have done it. I'm just worried over ruining a firearm because I got distracted.

I have been thinking on over coming my worries tho,here lately I've been burning up the 9mm and 45acp to the point I can't keep up with the single stage.

I can build 45 acp 230 gr fmj for about .20$. Well worth the investment for me since I shoot quite a bit.

Also, as you may have noticed my press auto-indexes the shell plate. I would definitely notice if it left the shell plate in the same place.

Does the the 385 horse and 865 ft lbs feel pretty peppy or does it have the "dead pedal" problem people have been complaining about on the newer truck forums? It looks pretty sweet.
