That is a fantastic read!

Have safe travels!

I have two- the double stack ultra and mid length
They shoot very nice.  The way the guns are sprung they don't like watered down 10.  But heck neither do I!!

I take it you are liking it!

Couldn't pass up a new 2011 RIA FS ultra HC for 650

Thanks for the feedback.  A 1050 is inbound set up for 308 carbide dies and a auto trimmer.  Should have it in about a week.

I looked to any thread on 1050? You get it yet?

So, Tim_z let me phrase my question a little differently.

If you had the option of sitting for 60 hours using the SS600, or making $1000 less money in brass sales, which would you choose? I figure I can sell the Super 1050 for about 75% of what I bought it for, so really it is $250 less money in brass sales, plus the hassle of selling it.

I do seem to notice that there aren't ANY for sale, which makes me think they sell pretty quick used.

Thanks for the heads up on the swageit system.  That looks like a possible solution to my quandary.  I have emailed them about how well it stands up to large volume.

I have the SS600- yea kinda slow for that volume.  As for your 75 percent retention of price, well I imagine you could get much closer to what you paid!! Reason not many on market used is that people don't sell them.  Don't worry about warranty reason why it comes with only one year warranty is that it is used as a commercial loader.  People as you know replace handle with a motor.  Dillon will often times still stand behind it.  I predict of you actually got it you would not want to get rid of it. I have two 650s and one 550. 

You have a great gun- I have the same gun.  They shoot very well

Brass, buy direct from starline.  Best deal out there.

Powder and primers online.  Well, you are about to learn about hazmat fees.  The short version is unless you are going to buy about 50 lbs of powder, you are better off going local.  Usually a hazmat fee hits you about $30 per order.  On a box of primers and a pound of powder, that drives the price per unit up a good bit.  Generally I can find powder locally for similar prices to online for Alliant powder, or any of the brand names.  The saving come if you are buying bulk pull down/canister powders, and you rarely see one that is "good" for 10mm.  If you know a local reloader, you might save some cash buy sharing a purchase, but again, I rarely see online prices for Blue Dot lower than my local shop.

Your powder picks are good ones.  I have used CCI and Winchester primers.  I prefer CCI, but for no articulable reason.

The big question is what reloading manuals do you have?  One is a bare minimum, and two or three are really recommended.  It allows you to cross reference loads between different components, so you get a better idea of where you are if you have a non-matched component to the published recipes.

Midway has lowered their hazmat fee to 19! It helps !!

Two 650 and one 550 in basement.  I drank some blue koolaid and would do so all over again.  I do like the hornady press too.  Do you have any friends with these machines to allow you to feel them out??

I have shot their 200 gr JHP - stout is appropriate

I just turned 46 in November as well and as I reflect back time is accelerating - my quote is "would somebody get their finger off the fast forward button!"

Glad you are liking the new toy
