Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Not to sound naive, but where would you suggest that a guy look for a used unit? I have recently discovered the classifieds on this forum, but aside from joining other forums, the only thing I can think of is eBay, Gunbroker, and local ads (You are hard pressed to find a good deal locally when you live in Wyoming).
  2. This seems so simple and is a valid option, yet somehow I didn't think of selling the brass. Thanks! Butterpuc, I'm just curious, but did you have a 650 before owning a 1050? If so, do you have any regrets? I still may decide to save for a 1050 regardless. Also, am I playing with fire if I keep watch for a used 1050? Thanks again all
  3. Sarge (and/or any of you guys for that matter), what do you do when you run across 9mm brass with crimped primers? I currently have several thousand rounds that need to be swaged, and I just don't have the time to do it all by hand using a Dillon Super Swage 600. Even if I made the time, I really don't want to sort through all my brass to pick out the crimped ones. For this reason, I am debating spending the money on a 1050/RL1100 even though, as you stated, it's way more press than I need. I'm open to getting a 650 if anyone has some good ideas on how to handle the crimped primers in a timely manner. Call me a young buck that's too impatient, but I have 4 young boys to keep up with, and taking the time to sort brass or swage by hand just isn't an option for me. I've seen a lot of your posts in the past and respect your knowledge (along with many others on this forum), so please don't take this as a challenge question. I genuinely would like to know if there are other time efficient options other than opting for a 1050. And for what it's worth, it's not like I'm just made with money. Truthfully, I don't have $2,000 sitting around that I can just blow on a new press. With that being said, I am the type that will stick with my 550 and then save up for however long is needed and just set aside the brass with the crimped primers until I can use it someday. Thanks,
  4. Thanks guys, As BJB suggested, I'll stick with the 115gr for now and if I ever get back into USPSA I'll switch it up. A few years back, my wife and I had just started into the competition world when the local club broke up. Not sure why, but I won't waste time complaining about it. There are a lot of things you can do on your own. Also, I have noticed that I don't have smurf fingers near as bad with this last batch from Blue Bullets. I wonder if the washing process takes away any of the actual coating? Either way, it is nice to not have blue all over your stuff. Thanks again
  5. Hey guys, I'm fairly new to reloading and I just bought a couple of cases of 115gr from Blue Bullets to start with. Then, after reading several recent threads on here, it seems like most folks are using 124gr or higher. Is there less "love" for the 115gr than I thought there was? Or more specifically, why does it seem like most of you are using 124gr+? Also, is there much difference between a Blue 115gr vs, say, Berry's plated 115gr?
  6. Hey man! I'm from Cody so I'm a few hours away, but thought I would say hi none-the-less.
  7. Hello all, I'm from Cody Wyoming. Over the past couple of years I have gained a lot of useful information on this forum, so I thought it was time to join. I've been reloading on an old Dillon 550, but am looking to acquire an additional machine and am considering the new RL1100. I look forward to many good/informative conversations with all of you!
