Hi-Power Jack Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Bought a 650 in .45 ACP, I'm gonna have questions Welcome aboard. Click on Forums (top left of your screen), then on Reloading .45. Spend a half hour reading up - you'll get 3 months reloading experience for FREE:) Now try to find some gunpowder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaycwebb Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 You will love your 650. It's an amazing machine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmac Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Just explain to her all the money you'll save, loading your own ammo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Smith Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Tell her you got it on sale. I've been told that getting something on sale makes it OK because of all the money that was saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Picked up at a garage sale generates even more Brownie points !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EA308 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Welcome to the forum. I am relatively new to reloading as well and there is a ton of information on here to help you out. If you can't find the answer, ask the question. Somebody will definitely have a good answer for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copecowboy22 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I keep putting off getting a 650 due to lack of $$. This might make me go ahead and take the plunge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 It is a lifetime machine. (or longer) You will get decades of service out of it. Given that...it's not even $50 a year, really. Plus, it should cut your ammo cost (per thousand) in half. It's just good math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2MoreChains Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Great investment. The cost of buying a gun is one thing. But the cost of all the ammo you'll shoot thru it over the life of the gun is probably much higher... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishboytroy Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Thanks guys,... I feel better already. I remember the first white lie I ever told my wife when I bought my first AR 15 ( I own 7 now in 5.56, 300 blk, 6.8 spc and an AR-10 ). WIFE... "how much was it? ME..."a few hundred" WIFE... "that doesn't look like something that only cost a few hundred,... HOW MANY HUNDRED WAS IT REALLY?!?!" ME... Uuhhh, ten hundred?!?! TOTAL SILENCE... and she quit washing my laundry...! That was 10 years ago, now she acts like she doesn't see what I buy, and I act like I don't see what she brings home from the Mall. AND THE WORLD IS AT PEACE...

Doc Neeley Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Tell her you got it so when she's reloading for you, she wont have to work as hard and besides, pulling the handle with firm up her hooters. You were just thinking of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
