BobT Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Well after near 40 years of using a single stage, I ordered a 550 and stuff to reload 9mm. The wife and I started pistols games this past summer, and I got a great Christmas bonus from work, so it was time. As soon as we get through Christmas, I'll be starting to build a new bench for it.... Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilBunniFuFu Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Pistol games use a lot of rounds. Glad you upgraded to a progressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aandabooks Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Congats on the upgrade. Make sure you keep the single around. It still has a place on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzShooter Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Congratulations. I hope you bought it through Brian's Store. He gives great service and will answer any questions you have and will recommend the best setup. Now you can reload all you need in one night instead of over a week.
