I Accidentally A Dillon!

[evan price]

A good friend of mine is moving far away with short notice and needs to put his house up for sale and dispose of a lot of stuff that he has accumulated as a shooter/reloader. He briefly did custom reloading for a school that did carbine & advanced CCW courses and supplied his club with ammo.
Texting back and forth I offered what help I can provide and "if your Dillon happened to fall into my truck I'd give it a home, LOL!"
We finished the conversation this morning and that was that.

Tonight he texted me back "Well, I thought about it and I don't see myself needing the Dillon for a while. What about a deal? Got anything in your 401(G) fund?"

So I said, sure, hit me up. I didn't win the bid on the Smith & Wesson 44 Triple Lock so I have some cash.

"Take all the Dillon stuff, everything, $1000 cash. But I gotta do it before Sunday."

Um, that's too good to refuse.

So I am about to be the proud owner of a 5-year-old Dillon Super 1050 press.
WITH a Ponsness-Warren Autodrive.
Tool heads, case feeder, dies, parts, Dillon press-mounted case trimmer, etc. I honestly don't know what all he accumulated and I know he was an accumulator.

I almost don't know what to say! A big upgrade from my Lee Pro-1000!

I don't think I could afford to keep a 1050 in powder and primers.

Good score!

I used to buy ammo from L & S Ammunition in White Castle, LA. They ran their mom & pop operation on two Dillon 650s, and sold many thousand rounds of ammo every year at gun shows.

I can only imagine what a 1050 can spit out per hour.

Splendid! Lucky you.

Happy reloading, and well wear!

You'll have a ball with that rig for sure! (You'll just have to hire help to keep it supplied with components ). I lucked into a couple of 550's from estate sales, kept one and 12 toolheads already complete with dies and powder measures, a cabinet full of spare parts, a fistfull of primer tubes, two primer pocket swagers and a Dillon power case trimmer, and after selling the second press I have $700 in all. I can't prep enough brass in a week to keep it in components for more than a day (and a day's work on it equals a sore arm for another day! )

Picked.up the dillon today. Came with five tool heads, press mounted trimmer, lots of die plates, spares, etc. can not complain!
Then he decided he didn't want to move his gun safe so that fit a seperate deal for $500. Then there were a couple long guns, a finish worn Win94 for $200, he threw in a tired but functional Stevens 620 pump 12ga & a stack of FAL magazines.
Then he just started putting stuff in my truck. "Hey, want a half bucket of linotype? Here is a bucket of clip wheel weight ingots, about 120#. Take that pickle barrel of range brass. Heres my oddball rifle brass collection, three buckets worth. A bandoleer of 30-06 on Garand enblocks? Take it. LC- brass? yours. That bucket of nickel 40 cal. Here's my leftover Lake City br long range 308s in cabelas boxes.
