Hmmm, I haven't got my electronic scale yet but what I was going to do was set it up on a 9X12X2 inch b grade granite surface plate that I got from Enco. I had planned to shim it level but isolate it from the rest of what ever bench surface I arrived at with neporene pads. I may go ahead smoke out the air currents where it sets and build some secondary air screens. I wonder if Radio Shuck has a cheap ac line conditioner?

One thing I forgot. I'm always liked the 1911 .45 and since I bought one back in March it's become a cult thing with me. I hang around the 1911 Forum a lot. In their reloading section the most often recomended progessive, actually the recomended reloading press, is a Dillon and the most recomended place to get one is from you. I've seen this on other forums. Your business has built up a lot of what is called "Good Will." You are a name brand and darn near a cult figure. I think we would rather pay a little more rather than see you fold it up.

I picked up so much information from your sales site and the forum I felt obligated to buy from you. We sometimes get to thinking that everything on the net is free. It is not. A businessman has to pay for the bandwidth and for a secure bandwidth, I imagine it can get high. I hope to heck that the tax law gets changed on small businesses. Like I heard in Bush's convention speach about chapter S businesses. The tech support provided by you and Dillon according to my research is the best. I once tenatively looked into going into business for myself in Texas. After looking at the paper work, what catastrophic health care would cost, the need to get enough capital to last for at least three years for a break even, and my low tolerance for what I consider needless agravation I decided to keep working for other people, damm it. I've found that the lowest price for an item is not always the best price. I've sent money out and had to wait for 6 weeks before it arrived and then it was either not exactly what I ordered or it was buggered in some way. Then it would take another month to get it all straightend out.

Man I hope so. In consultation with a shooter I trust he let go with a, "After about 3000 rounds or so you should get familiar with your pistol." The calulator came out. Also at my Texas CHL class we were told that we needed to shoot at an absolute minimum 100 rounds a month. He said the not shooting after you get your license could really hurt you when it's time for your renewal test and also for liability suits if you get involved in a shooting. He said reshoot the test periodically and keep a record in case you ever need to show that you've been diligent. I live in an urban area and the closest gunranges are all indoors. I'll have to cough up for a memebership since I can't afford the $18 to $20 fee that they charge non-members for the use of the range. The ammunition costs are going to be critical for me. I figure I can lose a lot of brass and still beat ammo bulk buys on .45. I've tried Wolf and had no trouble with it but I just don't like the stuff. I'm to old and conservative I guess. I had ordered "Pratical Shoothing Manual" by Matt Burkett and even though it is oriented toward sport shooting it helped me a lot in preperation for my CHL shooting test. I got a 249 out 250 on the shooting. Of course the high score area is a 12 inch circle on a shiloute and the longest range is 15 yards, but I got kudo's from the instructor on the tightness of the group and boy am I rambling. I work a third shift and I'm way over due for sleep.

I've been trying to find a "good deal" on a used 550 set up for about three months. I finaly had enough of from the bottom of a lake gear at garage sales with "Its worth what I'm asking becacuse of the "No BS warranty, Dillon will fix it. Yea and and getting outbid on eBay got old. Nothing like paying full retail after you add in freight and insurance. I finanly figured out it would be cheaper just to go ahead and buy from Brian, so I laid my credit card on the alter and made sacrifice. "All hail the cult of the Blue." And the cult of the 1911A1 which I can't stay in unless I solve my ammo price problems. I tried to accept the AT500, I tried to love the Square Deal since right now I'm only shooting a .45 Springfield. I tried to just go with the basic 550 but I'd had to much advice and research on the utility of "the way it aught to be" options on the 1911 forum reloading section. So this morning the order or should I say orders went out. I forgot the spare parts kit. I wont need the canned air or lube since I huffing hot air and sweating grease on how much I spent.
