Oh, yuck! Rest up and know that prayers ascend - for healing and patience. It's gotta hurt having that new toy still in the box and you can't play with it!

I believe the tray is cast aluminum powder coated blue and can double as a step to climb up into your monster pick up when you're not reloading.AndyC wrote:The one thing that actually turned me away from Dillon was.... they want $42 for a bullet tray - which only works with the StrongMount (another $49).

Seriously? I need to pay $91 + shipping (call it $100) so I can get a plastic tray to hold bullets? Bye, Dillon - you totally lost me as a customer

Hope you get to feeling better soon.

Re: I'm in trouble now...
So what is your impression now that you've had a couple of month's experience with it? I've been thinking about one of these for my 45 reloads and keeping the single stage solely for the 30-06 I do. Have been noticing a lot of buzz about these over the past month or two on several forum.
I did find a way to REALLY get in trouble with the other half.... made a nice purchase at an estate sale with about 60 lbs of powder, 70 die sets, 30K primers, and 20 or 30K bullets. It did not go over well when I started unloading the truck!

Re: I'm in trouble now...
Yeah, the first part is kinda rough. I did the same thing a few years ago and filled up my van at an estate sale. I kept the Dillon 550b, the Dillon case cleaner the die sets I wanted and a few odds and ends and sold all the rest on Ebay. Made twice plus what I paid for all of it at the estate sale. My other half did a quick about face and hasn't given me any more grief about my reloading; just an ocassional "Do you really have to carry that thing everywhere you go?"mjoplin wrote:I did find a way to REALLY get in trouble with the other half.... made a nice purchase at an estate sale with about 60 lbs of powder, 70 die sets, 30K primers, and 20 or 30K bullets.
