Missed opportunity

[kg4kpg]

Had a chance to grab this but I should have called when I saw it but thought it was too late at night. $100.00. Oh well, you snooze you loose.

RCBS Jr Press w/ auto primer feed, .38 die..38/357 carbide die, 9mm carbide die, ohaus 7200 du-o-measure, ohaus 7250 powder measure stand, ohaus 505 scale many extras.

Hang in there. We'll find you one.

Measuring powder is one thing that I didn't want to take any chances on. I would like a beam scale for a back up "no power" type of scenario but I bought an RCBS Chargemaster scale & dispenser. I got it while Midway was having a sale AND RCBS is offering a $50 rebate right now, so I got it for $260 which is a HUGE savings. The thing is awesome. Dispenses as little as 2 grains and can accurately put out tenths of a grain. It's impressive to see it kick out literally ONE GRANULE of powder to get to the right charge.

Natchezss.com has the RCBS Partner single stage for $69:

I use it and have kicked out a few hundred 9mm and .223 rounds with it in the last week.

Reading a book that Clicker loaned me and saw it has a coupon in the back for 60% off a Lee Loader. It says that the owner of the book has to buy it for someone who is interested in reloading and cannot resell it. It states the equipment is cosmetically damaged but otherwise fully functional and fully warranted.

So, who wants to buy me a reloading kit? :lol:

I'm getting a Lee Challenger kit. Has most everything I need except the case length gage, shell holders and dies for a very nice price. Dave is ordering for me and I'll need to order dies...unless someone happens to have a spare set you don't happen to need. :mrgreen: I'll pick up powder, bullets and primers after the rest gets here. ATP had rifle primers but not the bullets I wanted. I'm getting there.

That is likely how I will start. I only plan to reload for a few calibers, and not much of that.

Maybe we could all chip in our monthly allowance, get a clubhouse, and purchase a few presses so members could reload on the shared equipment. While waiting, the other members can shoot the bull (or some other creatures) on our X-Box "Big Game Hunter" setup with LCD flat screen and surround sound, munch on cheetos and suck back a few diet cokes.

Hey, I'm only asking.

Case length gauge? You mean calipers? I got a Frankford Arsenal digital caliper from Midway for $25. Works great.

I'd start looking for powder, primers and bullets NOW. .223 bullets are getting more scarce by the minute.
