TDA Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I've been looking but no POWDER to be found. Looking for IMR or Vita what'cha call it... I just bought 8 lbs of "Vita what'cha call it" (N320) from Recobs this morning. I wanted something for .45 ACP, .40, and 9mm. Hope I did the right thing!

HotRod61 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Just took the plunge. Went all out on the 650 in 223. Had a friend that has two of them give me pointer's on what to get with the 650. I get delivery this Saturday. Soon to add a conversion kit for 45acp. These forums are a great help. Edited May 2, 2015 by HotRod61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowfin Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Just did the same thing with a 550. I explained to my wife that it frees up spare time for me to clean the house and do other things she wants me to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vixty Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I recently got one as well and I use the spare time excuse. Now while she takes a bath I can pump out a couple hundred rounds before she even gets out. However I'm having a issue with my col varying from 1.138 and 1.153. Everything is tight and the only think I haven't tried that I recently read about on here is the powder funnel is down to far so i need to reduce the bell a little. Hope that works. I'm using xtreme 165 9mm bullets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterthefish Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Why do guys have wives who don't shoot? You get so much more out of everything that you share. Time apart makes time together that much more precious. At least that's what I say when I leave her with the boys (2&4) to head out for a match, and what she says when she leaves them with me to do whatever it is women do for fun. Although we do shoot trap together sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilbeef54 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Nice, i snagged a 550 about two months ago used, it pays ot self off in about 2k rounds for me loading .40, plus you can make much better ammo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motosapiens Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Why do guys have wives who don't shoot? You get so much more out of everything that you share. There's something to that, but in my experience, wives and their equipment need some care and feeding too that can distract from your own performance. My wife doesn't shoot, but we raced motorcycles together for years. That was fun, and we traveled to a bunch of big national events (and she won some of them), but it's nice to only have to worry about me when it comes to shooting. Fortunately my wife doesn't care how much I spend on shooting stuff (and I wouldn't care if she did). I spend more on fine wine and garden stuff than I do on shooting.

vixty Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 My wife always gives me the excuse that it's to expensive for her to shoot too and if it's not that excuse it's that I never take her shooting. It's funny because I always ask her if she wants to go shoot with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalJesus Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 gonna have to steal that one from you Yellowfin! See if that helps my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazr111 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) I'll second that. Mine went down to closer to 40%. My SO was there when I got my 550 and just about all of my reloading gear so she knows what I paid for it, but she also knows that she can shoot more as a result. Double brownie points Edited June 10, 2015 by Lazr111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunBugBit Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) I tell my wife I'll be buying a Dillon when she looks at my pails of brass, and she's all like, "When are you gonna buy that thing?"

bfalcon00 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Yeah I broke down and bought a 650 just about 2 years ago now. Went the cheap route first and have regretted it every since. Though someone did get a good deal on a slightly used load master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Moto is exactly right, if you wife shoots you'll be spending time on her equipment & helping her get ready, etc which takes away from the time you need .... now if you're just out to have fun and don't really care about your performance it's all good. But for people like Moto & I who are hell bent on world domination in shooting I'm glad not to have the added distractions. And for the record I invited my wife many time to try Steel Challenge shooting & we even went so far as to get a holster, mags & belt for her but she always had something else come up on a match weekend so I finally took the hint and stopped inviting her .... oh, and I spend whatever I need to on shooting & she spends what she wants on the things that interest her .... we don't really worry what things cost ....

Raider26 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I've been on the fence about reloading for years, mostly because I don't really know how to do it and I'm not all that mechanically inclined. I guess it cant be too hard based on some of the nitwits I shoot with lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reballz Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I ran a hornady lnl for a couple of years. Never had an issue. Sold it and bought an XL650, and I have to email Dillon pretty much monthly for replacement parts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austings Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 What are you breaking that you have to email dillon monthly for parts? Thats almost unheard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jts2581 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 You have to explain it to your wife this way.... at least with the 650 I can get in and get out of the garage in time for dinner. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
