I was talking to a buddy last week and told him I wanted to get into reloading and he told me he had a Dillon 550 he would trade.
I traded him a Beretta 96g Vertec that I bought used for $250 and I hated the way it shot.
I met him for the trade and was very happy when he gave me
Dillon RL 550 press
Mec 600 "JR" press
Rcbs RCII press
2 sets of 45acp dies
38/357 dies
44 special/ magnum dies
22 Hornet dies
3006 dies
308 dies
223 dies
500 357 brass
1000 45acp brass
500 40 brass
500 9mm brass
500 223 brass
200 3006 brass
100 308 brass
500 30 carbine brass
200 22 hornet brass
200 22 hornet bullets
He called me yesterday and told me he forgot to bring the primers he has and will get them to me.
I think I made a great trade but have no idea how to use all of this or what else ill need to pick up besides powder and bullets.
I know I want a tumbler, scalen calipers and case trimmer along with some books and manuals but what else do I need to get started? Anyone near Lowell what to teach me the ropes?
I think I will keep the 550 and maybe sell or trade the other 2 presses unless you think I have a need for all 3.
I think I got a great deal but am so new to reloading that I'm not even sure how good of a deal I got!
