WidowsSon683 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 So I took out a $1k 401k loan to buy a reloading set up. I found a site that had a few 650s in stock just not in .40 (no biggie ill just buy a conversion). So the day my check gets here i deposit it and get online to order. THEY SOLD OUT! Damn my luck. And of course the only ones i can find now are on ebay and they want more than i was gonna pay for the press, conversion to .40, dies, strong mount, and roller handle.

a matt Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Get one from BE/here. You will be so much more pleased with the support and service. I'm pretty sure the price also! IMHO Call Brian.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddaniel1 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I would go ahead and order one to get in line, Dillons back order time for dies and caliber changes has been much faster than they advertised. They seem to be cranking stuff out pretty quickly now, hopefully the same applies to presses. While you are waiting work on all the other tons of doodads you will need to go with the press, scales, tumblers etcetc etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atbarr Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 When you get my age, you will regret taking $1,000 out of your 401K. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidowsSon683 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Atbarr, its a loan. I have to pay it back with interest to myself. Its not like I just took the money out and am gonna get reamed with early penalties or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Yup, loan kinda sux, but no loss down the road for retirement. +1 for the suggestion to go ahead and order from BE or Dillon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlnel Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 The interest should be offset by thereload saving i would think?? Good investment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzi Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 You could repost on Ebay and make phat profits. Ferengi style. My eyes bled the other day when I saw a 550 with 223 conversion and a set of dies get bid up to 1450 dollars plus shipping. Watching ebay bids is almost as entertaining as a few episodes of 24.

glynnm45 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I think there is a 650 listed for sale over on castboolits website. Not mine, or am I a relative or neighbor, just a FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
