Another good idea from other boards is if you have sold your item, please EDIT your Subject (Title) heading with the words SOLD.

This prevents people from wasting time opening threads, getting to the bottom and finding out the Item was sold long ago.

On Caguns.net I have 5800 posts; we use the itrader system (I have a 100% itrader rating with 64 transactions). I only mention this because when fellow members ship expensive items cross-country, a positive rating system gives a buyer or seller some confidence. We've had a few scammers, but they had no itrader rating. Something to consider in the future if the For Sale section here gets large.  :)

Be well

Nate...Priority Mail cardboard box is on its way.

I PMed you the tracking number.

Over the years several members (some on this board) in other 10MM forums have done me favors and I have always returned the favors for 10MM freaks in need. We've always exchanged cases, primers, boolets, even home-cast boolets. Reloading recipes and heck I once mailed a member a new recoil spring. We are a community of like minded 10MM shooters and sticking together really helps us all out. Just play it forward for someone in the future.

Be well

QuoteI just went on the cabelas website, it doesn't give me the option to order 10mm starline brass, only 9mm/40/38 special.  So I assume they are sold out....no luck at cabelas

Wow...this morning it did list 10MM....sold out quick.  I will donate some Starline for the cause. I don't like seeing a fellow member suffer..haha.  :)

PM me a name and good mailing address and I will throw a few in a Priority Box (from my work..no charge..hehehe) and get them out to you. I have an obscene amount of components and really don't need cash. Perhaps trade something in the future....

Be well

It's Saturday Morning here in Los Angeles and  Cabellas has some 10MM available. (limited stock)
8-3-13

http://www.cabelas.com/product/Starline-Unprimed-PistolRifle-Brass-150-Per-100/751598.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3Fform_state%3DsearchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3Dstarline%2Bbrass%26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts%26x%3D13%26y%3D11&Ntt=starline+brass&WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products

Go for it. If this falls thru perhaps I can help out next week. (the problem is these supplier websites are not updated in real time)   :(

I would hate to have all the components except BRASS and not be able to Reload.....

If you score at Cabella's post a message.

Be well

I run a Dillon 1050 and a Dillon 550 (with case feeder).

I have 5 kids (4 are adults now) and we've had these Dillon machines for 20 years. The kids grew up learning about Guns, Gun sports and shooting. Everyone of them has reloaded 1000s of rounds of ammo. It was a family thing. (besides Baseball, Soccer and Surfing   ;D )

I am very pleased with Dillon. On my old 550, one of the springs on the powder drop broke; after years of use. I called dillon to get another spring (about 5 bucks) and they sent me a brand new (improved) Powder Drop, no charge. (about $130 worth). Incredible customer service.

Here's my reloading room.

Update. After waiting about 90 days I finally received my Mech-Tech. I haven't had time to shoot her yet. Family and work obligations have kept me busy these last few months. (one more kid out of College...woot-woot. No student loans).

My initial impression is this Unit is built very well and with high quality parts. It is a bit heavier than I imagined; but Stainless steel is heavy to begin with. Fit and finish is very good. This is (of course) 10MM.  Dropping some cases into the chamber shows very good case support. In fact, much better than I would imagine because all of the reviews I've read indicate that this unit feeds just about everything without issues. I did order an extra feed BLOCK. Get an extra and get the one with the magnetic button that holds the block in place while you fit the GLOCK frame into the unit.

FYI there is a great thread over at GLOCK TALK by ModGlock 17:

Here are some photos of mine. Here in Kalifornistan we have to use the fixed stock (UGLY) to keep the Overall Length more than 30 inches. Also we must install a 'bullet button' (shaved mag release) and run only 10 round magazines.  >:(

Be well.

I went ahead and ordered a 10MM unit. Waiting the 5 weeks now...........gonna be fun I suspect.  :)

Here in California we have to use the ugly fixed stock to keep the weapon 30 inches long; and use a bullet button and only 10 round magazines.. Ugggg..

A bullet button a my Glock frame is simply grinding down a mag release button so it sits just below the surface; requiring a tool to activate.  I bought a 'sight mark' cheap reflex sight that will mount on the topside rail provided.

CTD is selling 1000 rounds of 223 for $1725.00   :o

I guess the panic is making the uniformed pay thru the nose....

I disliked them before the GOUGING. Mainly they won't sell basic parts to Kalifornistan.

Reloading 10mm ammo / Re: Progressive Presses
November 13 2012 10:54:36 PM MST
I am a BLUE person. Dillon all the way. I have 2 Dillon presses and have been using Dillon products for 21 years. Any problem at all is fixed by DILLON no charge. I once had a broken return spring on one of my powder measures fail ; (after 12,000 rounds) a call to Dillon and I received a brand new complete powder measure no charge. (it was the improved model; works great)

I shoot 3000 rounds a month sometimes. My Dillon 1050 seriously loads an easy 1000 rounds per hour. One man I know has loaded 1000 rounds in 33 minutes all by himself. I'am not that dedicated but once in a while my kids (adults and one still at home) come out to my reloading Gun Room and pump out ammo for the weekend.

I load 10MM on my Dillon 550B with case feeder. Capacity is around 700 per hour but when reloading 10 I am never in a hurry....hehe. Incredible machine the 550.

The Dillon 1050 is perhaps the best reloader in the world. Costly but worth the $ if you or your family is serious about shooting/guns/collecting/ammo costs.

Good reading on which Dillon and costs here:

I see a LOT of my friends on this board..!.....

I am Oceanbob, member at Glock talk 10 ring, Calguns.net (3800 posts), and THR.

I think this is going to be a GREAT forum for us 10MM Nutballs... :)

Now if I could just find an old friend who could stop by Ed's Public Safety and pick up a GLOCK 29 GEN4 and decide later he doesn't want it..... :o

Talking to Greg the owner of GLOCKMEISTER in Arizona...known Greg a few years; met him at SHOT, his answer is no GLOCK Gen4s on the west coast until end of the year... ???

AARRRGGGG!.....
