Would this be a trade worth doing?

I don’t reload and know zilch about it but it states dies are not included.
You’ll have to take that into account.
I also think it may be a bit of a large setup for a beginner with lotsa pieces that gotta go somewhere and you don’t necessarily know where.
Hold on to your guns.
Voted no.

* I’m thinking he made himself 3 million rounds of ammo and now he’s out of components and he can’t find any and that’s why he’s looking to trade for a gun.

 

I would not do it. If you can find one, you can buy the press new for that price. There are accessories included but not really that many that the seller mentioned.

Reloading supplies and have gotten scarce lately, as has ammunition and firearms. Due to panic buying. I think November 3rd will tell the tale. Even if it goes "our" way, I don’t expect it to clear up soon. Too much hate and discontent going on.

I can find components sporadically, but the prices are raised or they are rationed. Primers for example. One LGS is selling all you want if he has in stock, but they are now 0.08 a primer - double the price. A second is still 0.04, but you can not buy a sleeve of 1000, only two 100 count packs.

 

1 pull doing 3 or 4 things should be faster, right?

 

That's why I haven't bothered with them yet...

 

You got to flick it or tap it. Titegroup can be finicky. I also wipe out the hopper with a dryer sheet before I fill it.

 

It's going to be a good bit of time before I start reloading, but I'm remembering that when I do.

@lklawson you need to equip your turret press with one of the UFO lights. They are worth the money. I hav had 4 different turret presses, still have two of them. The Lee and Lyman manual advance are about twice as fast as the single stage. Both the Lee auto advance turrets are about 3 times as fast.

 

What feed are you using? Nothing is spider-proof, but the newer Lee measures are better that the older powder disc measures, IMHO. Also, Unique is good, but Ramshot True Blue is better, if you can find it. It's a spherical powder that measures beautifully and won't bridge. About 4 gr with a 125 cast bullet is great in the 9mm or .38 Special. AND, in my AO, it is $2.00/lb CHEAPER than Unique - which appeals to the cheapskate in all of us

 

I think the allure of unique for @lklawson is the same as for me. He is looking for something with as close to 100% load density as he can get. Rimshot True Blue is a good powder, but it leaves enough room in the case, espicallynthev38 special that a double charge is possible.

of course Kirk will have to answer for his self.

 

As usual, my Southern bar-b-queing friend, you are correct. I have fallen in love with the stuff and would buy another keg tomorrow, if I saw one, but it does NOT fill the old BP rounds even close to "full". With what I THINK I know of Kirk, it wouldn't be a problem, but...avoidance is the 1st step.

 

Can we get back to Dagwoods needs?
Mmmmmmaybe?

 

Who?
