mike early

I hope you ordered the dvd to go with your setup ... I found it very worthwhile viewing and helped me get started very quickly ....

Actually ... after thinking about this a bit more and how I use the tubes --- I probably lean in way too close to make sure I am picking it up right --- I decided that the $300 for the FT100 was not such a bad deal after all ... so went over to Brian's store site and placed an order. Might be an over-reaction but ... hey, I have gotten used to where my fingers are after these 65 years together ....

Sorry to hear about your friend .... but thanks for posting this as it always good for me to get a reminder of the consequences if I am not paying attention to what I am doing ......

I have a friend that bought the SLP with a slug barrel and ordered a new smooth bore barrel from someplace in AZ .... think it was something like arizonagunrunners ... they told him it would be a couple of months before they had it available however ..... look at bottom of this page fn 22 barrel don't anything about this company and since he has not received his barrel yet, I have no info on how reliable they are either ......

Must be an individual store thing as I bought three cans at the Bass Pro here in Richmond VA a couple of weeks ago ... I know ... it doesn't help you at all ... guess if one of the stores in the whole chain sells it, it qualifies as a seller .......

Gary, It may be hard now, but try to remember the good times ... the loss of a parent is always a jolt, even if you know it is going to happen ... stay strong and realize that there are a lot of people that are thinking of you .... and praying for you....

Started out with a Square Deal bought direct from Dillon and have used in about three months .... realized I wanted to do more calibers (including something for my AR-15) so I did a lot more research (now that I was a lot smarter about what I wanted) ... a lot of it right here on this site ... and a lot of reading-- mostly on this site .... and just placed an order for a new 550B via Brian .... looking forward to get to work with a new press .... thank you very much Brian for what you are providing here ......

Can't you just change calipers? A.T. yea, switching calibers on a 550 is no more or less work that switching a SDB. Get the caliber conversion kit so you don't have to remove the dies. I had heard that changing the caliber on a SDB was a real pain ... very happy to hear it is about the same effort as on the 550 ... I obviously have not tried it but was told that it was a problem by a couple of different Dillon dealers at a couple of gun shows -- guess maybe they had a new sale in mind when they answered the question .....

I would have thought that the windshield had more to do with it than the hair weave ..... but what do I know??

I find myself in a bit of problem .... I started with the SDB to do .45 and felt that it represented the best choice since I was only going to do one caliber ..... well, a few months into and I realize that I really do want to do two calibers .... and while I like the SDB I don't have room for two of them ..... guess I am going to have to try and sell the SDB and move into a 550 ..... if I had a big room and place for two SDB's maybe it would make sense to add another one ... but I don't .....

This looks like it is going to be fantastic and I am impressed with the organization and planning underway ..... but, don't think I am ready for this quite yet .... hope that you will have something similar next year (2010) .....

How do the Ranch moonclips work in the 627 - 8??

I am using a Sentinel in .45 and it is working great so far .... but then again I am new to this and what do I know? ;->

take a look at LaRue tactical as they have a number of iron sights LaRue

Had the same problem with my benchrest guns ..... flipped the right muff on the Peltor Tactical over and it seems to work a lot better now.....
