I Accidentally A Dillon!

[HTRN]

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.

Lemme put it this way, the step up from a 1050 with an auto drive is a Camdex machine..

It can probably do 900 -1200/hr..

So I am looking at this coffin-sized box of parts with the stone cold sobriety of realization of the money I spent.
The idea of owning this thing is freaking awesome like having my own bulldozer.
In the cold light of the day after, I'm realizing that I will never need the capacity of this machine.
And then Mrs. Price says "You spent HOW MUCH on a WHAT?"

I suppose I better at least unbox everything so I can take a picture to prove to Netpackrat that I'm not lying!

So now I'm seriously thinking about putting it on eBay or someplace. I figure I can at least double my money and that would get me back what the guy owed me.
New not including shipping, the press is $1800 more or less. The Ponsness-Warren autodrive is $950. The Dillon 1200B trimmer is $250. Plus there are the caliber conversions, spare parts, strong mount, roller handle and stuff like that. I need to take inventory.

Keep the press, sell the autodrive?

Should you keep it, all or part, Youtube is your friend. Lots of minimal info, but occasional tidbits of sheer genius.

side business, get the FFL and go for it?

I'm an idiot again.

It's a Dillon XL650 not a 1050. Mea culpa.

With the PW Autodrive, 1200 trimmer, electric case feeder with all 4 conversion kits, 6 turrets, 5 caliber conversions, 5 different powder bars, 3 powder measures, 4 toolhead storage mounts, press strong mount, aluminum roller handle, bullet tray, half a dozen sets of miscellaneous dies, 8-10 primer tubes, an extra priming system, a spare lower carrier, low primer alarm, low powder alarm, powder check, and lots other bits & pieces I have no idea what they are.

So roughly $2000 for the press and extras, $250 for the trimmer, $1000 for the autodrive.

So even though it's NOT a 1050 Super, it's still a pretty good package and honestly more like what I would really rather have anyway.
Now I'm thinking, sell the autodrive (which is cool but not necessary) and get a KISS bullet feeder, which will be about the same price.

Skip the bullet feeder, just something else to deal with.
