I have been a single stage hand loader for longer than I can count. I have some questions on the Dillon machines that maybe some folks here with experience can help me understand more quickly than 100 google searches. I see the 550B on amazon for about 450 bucks. It says it's a 650 without caliber conversion kit. I assumed the press would have some sort of disk at the top of the turret to accept dies and use a shell plates at the bottom that you would need to cover the various calibers. If I want to reload 9mm and 45 ACP do I need a caliber conversion kit or can I just use my RCBS dies inserted at the top? Does the caliber conversion kit just provide additional disks so I don't need to reset my dies each time I change calibers? I guess just plainly I want to know what the heck a caliber conversion kit is and whether or not I can use the RCBS dies I already have should I decide to go Dillon? What is the difference between the 650 and 550? thanks all.

I just ordered one. It will make a good gift for my nephew who just applied for his paperwork.

No worries. Enjoy.

I scored one for 109 on Gunbroker and got one off Joe Bob when the original thread started on here. The brown (or honey) one is for me and I'll give the black one to my dad who liked it.

I'd like a pmr 30 but I haven't seen anyone successfully pinning the magazines.

Yeah, I work in manhattan or I'd be there even more.

Crowded but not like Saturday. Awesome time as usual.

I'm just leaving now. Got caught up in the to do list.

Yes, they normally do and they normally have Red dot--not so sure about trail boss, but ring them up before heading over. I may have some analogues. I have v320 and w231 which have similar burn rates to trail boss. the 231 right on and the 320 just a touch slower. If you need a lb I could work something out. I have 4 lb jug that I could weigh a lb of 320 out for you and I may have a 1 lb jar of w231. hit me up if it helps you.

I know Ottomanellii's had a black one. I think RTSP has a black one as well. I believe both have inventory online--OSA on their Facebook page and RTSP on their main site.

Saturday was a whole different story--I parked by the grave vaults. I'm headed there in a bit and we'll see.

I'm sure tons of folks will be there! Should be fun--because it always is as long as I can get a parking spot! Have a good day everyone.

Very nice. I used the same upper, lower, rail combo on a 300 blackout build. Nice stuff for a really good price and it was very light. Rifle looks great. I have the P300 which is the 300 blk version of the p223. I liked it better than the monarch, a bit more tactical and flexible from lower power. It's all preference but I was really surprised at how good the glass was at the lower price point at which I got that scope. I don't think you could go wrong with either.

I would guess from having two you thinks it's a good comp?

What specifically are you looking for? Bullethole used to be good but since the craze less so. Let me know what you need and maybe I can help you out.

Very attractive deal for those who don't have one/either or just need the ammo.

Wow, it looks exactly the same.

Wow that's cheap for a good piston gun. Where can you get one?

GFH has a ps90 too.

Maybe I'm a bit conservative but I and an AR15.com lower receiver and sold it. The model number wasn't AR 15 but the brand was and I got skittish based the intuitionally ambiguous laws have any black rifle that said AR15 anywhere on it. It was a really nice billet receiver too with the bolt face logo.

I have the pistol and the PS90 and they are a blast to shoot. The recoil is nearly like a .22 and they are accurate. A friend of mine is a policeman and they tried these on ballistic gel (I guess to simulate shooting a body) and he said it did substantial damage to the gel as well as the vests they fired it at. Not living in NJ you'd also be able to get a 30 round magazine. 30 rounds of a small high velocity rifle cartridge in a handgun. The downside, if you don't reload, is the cost of the ammo can be pricey. If you do reload it is a tricky round that takes a bit of practice to do well. It is also very sensitive to modest powder charge changes. I have no regrets with mine.

Here's a couple in order Sig Nightmare in .460 Rowland, Kimber in .45 ACP, Colt Delta Elite 10mm, Kimber 9mm.

Picked up.

Baby face finster took it
