Hunter-dog Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I just wanted to tell everyone the story about me and my 550. I have been shooting for the last 20 plus years and have been a law enforcement officer for the last 17. In the past year I have started to shoot USPSA matches with a stock Kimber 45. So I deceided that I was going to finally purchase a Dillon reloading machine. I deceided on the 550 and since I was always reading Brian's forums figured I should give him the business. So I ordered a 550 with strong mounts, bullet tray, etc. My first surprise came about one week later when my order had not arrived. I called the Brain Enos phone number and got a machine, I left a message and within hours was called by Brian himself! He assured me the order was shipped and sure enough I recieved it the next day. Within a week I build the reloading table in my gun closet and set the machine up. (If I had known how easy it was I would have started reloading years ago). So I then make up 200 rounds of 200 grain lead and 230 grain CMJs. Go to the range I fire them. Not one malfunction. Come home happy as can be. I then take my three kids ice skating. Fall while getting off the ice and break my leg. One rod and ten screws later, I am out of work for 6 months and am unable to get near my 550. Not very happy. I must say ordering through Brian was the best and I would recommend it to everyone. Now if I could only mount this machine to my bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Oh man, I think they should ban Ice Rinks. They are much too unsafe! Nobody needs an Ice Rink. They should be licensed and restricted only to Olympic skaters. Think of the children! Sorry I couldn't resist. I sure hope you're feeling better and get well soonest.

Trisha Lowry Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 OUCH that has gotta hurt! Leave ice skating for those individuals that aren't coordinationally challenged! Stick to blowing up stuff Much safer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
