One of my most common prayer times is when in traffic. Right now I'm sitting with my shooting buddy as the cancer ravages his body so I'm praying more often than not. He last ate on the 1st, and this...

Tendonitis was probably the biggest reason I decided to go progressive. I basically do the same amount of loading with about 1/4 of the effort. It's not for everybody but it was a better deal for me...

There was a fair amount but no worse than some lead smelting I've done. Had been doing them in aluminum, this was the second pour of brass and was experimental as much as anything.

Dillon tool head holder made from reclaimed 22 rimfire brass. 166797 Was rough cast then lathe finished. Finished out at about one pound, plan is to mount to a piece of Cherry stained wood.
No first hand but a buddy of mine just got a RA # for his unit, we'll see what happens now. He did express regrets, said he'd have gotten the Lyman unit in hindsight.

Personally I'd choose the 550 over the Square deal, also have to concur with M-Tecs on the capabilities of the 550 for accurate rifle loads.

Armed 24-7 unless going into restricted zone, Court House, P.O., Hospital, V.A., but even then the cane is with me and makes a nice defensive weapon against most threats.

As for me I'd be more interested in one in 327 federal Magnum. Would I turn down one in 32-20 nope.

Lee lacks follow through, the potential is there.

I walked into Graf and son with my cc in hand to purchase a LNL. I had never been in the store before and was surprised when I saw they had several presses set up, so I wondered over to that corner...

Excellent sales pitch Osteodoc08, I was lucky enough to see the LNL set up side by side with the 650 before I made my purchase.

Ok it's been a little over a year since I ask the original question. The big question for me then was LNL or 650 with the Pro 2000 on the back burner. After reading here and the comparison in post #...
