Made a deal for an SDB in 45 ACP which took most of my hard saved cash stash. Not complaining mind you, but it's difficult when you're on SS to build up a reserve. If I see a penny, I pick it up and put it in the coin jar.

I've always wanted a second SDB for large primers and now I have it. [smilie=w:[smilie=w:[smilie=w:

Now as they say "here's the rest of the story". The wife still works at a nursing home as she likes to save up and go to the casino and play the penny slots and gives me some money to play as I do the driving. She decided today was the day to go.

I went with a $100.00 in my pocket and came back with $780.00 in my pocket! :bigsmyl2:

So now, I can pick up a 9mm pocket pistol that I've been looking at, replenish the stash, and soon I will be setting up my new SDB! All in all, it's been a good week! [smilie=s:

Congrats! A second DIllon is a nice luxury. You will be glad you did it.

Nice!!! I got around that problem by picking up a second priming system. Pull three bolts and swap feeds (takes about as long to do as it takes to read this.....) Congrats on the windfall, gotta love it when that happens.......:bigsmyl2:

Awesome! Congratulations! I'm looking at SS and IRSs in a few years so I like hearing happy stories. I'll gunsmith for as long as I can when I retire to supplement the kitty.

What I forgot to add was that I can retire that darn PIA CH Mk5 A in 45 ACP.

The SDB doesn't have a case feed, but half the time loading with the CH is tinkering with the thing. So my rounds per hour will probably stay the same with lower blood pressure.:drinks::drinks:
