A bit of a step up from the Lee Turret, huh?

C

LOL, just a tad...the turret is still a great set up and I will prob still keep it for the time being...but the Dillon is like reloader's porn, truly is amazing. The Lee is set up for 9mm, the Dillon is set for 10mm...up next are .223 once I get everything more situated.

Nice! Got an email on Friday saying mine is shipped from Dillon. :) But the case feeder is still on backorder. I can just feed the cases by hand in the meantime, correct?

 

Yes. you can handfeed. The case feeder is where the speed is though. With that being said, its better to go slow and hand feed if you are new to progressive presses. This way you can take your time and watch everything and really understand what happens.

So a quick little update...the press is amazing...but wow setting up a progressive press can have its challenges...theres a lot going on at once. Hit a couple of snags along the way but finally have everything all squared away. One more little thing to take care of...I noticed I would get some powder on the powder bar that slides back and forth..called up Dillon, explained whats happening and they're sending me a thicker spacer...they seriously have to have the best/nicest customer service ever. Another minute on the phone and they just might of asked if I wanted to grab dinner lol. Tip for anyone setting up a press...after you have it set up, check over everything...once you do that, check it again...with everything going on at once, you can never be to careful.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By leahcim · Posted

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
