Great news! I know we have been talking about doing a group buy on a reloading press. The first one we can do, through a local vendor here is a group discount on Dillon presses.

 

Because of Dillon pricing policies, we cannot reveal the discount online, but it is a pretty good one, esp on a product like this.

 

First step is to go to Dillon's website http://www.bluepress.com or http://www.dillonprecision.com/. Pick what you like.

Then, call Vinny, of Hunting World Guns & Ammo - Freehold, NJ, you can call him direct at 917-709-8729. Tell him you are a member at NJ Gun Forums, and he will fill you in on the details of the discount.

 

Thank you Vinny.

WooHoo!!

 

1911Fan, what are you waiting for?

Saaaaaaweeeet!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Plus My wedding anniversary is on Thursday and Father's Day is around the corner!

I can almost smell the gunpowder.

I would love to learn about reloading but I have no idea where to begin. Does anyone want to point me in the right direction? Dillon's website is complicated. There are dozens of add ons

First thing you need to do is pick up a good reloading manual such as Lyman #49 or Speer #14 and do some reading. The ABC's of reloading is another good one. It will lay everything out for you step by step. It will give you a good base to ask more questions off of. Reloading is very simple.

in this forum, i put up a link to a youtube video series about reloading. take a lookt there. quite a few topics have already been discussed.

Thanks for the ideas on reloading books. I will pick one of those up as a starting point. Even though I use the net for everything I still find that a good book is a better starting place.

the net is good, but there is no substitute for ink and paper.

So i took a look at the great Dillon videos on youtube and I want to get a 550! I will call about the discount as soon as I get a chance. Reloading manuals are on the way. I might try to buy powder and small pistol primers at the Oaks PA gun show this weekend.

 

I would need small pistol primers for 9mm right?

Yes small for a 9mm. What powder are you planning on using?

The gun show was great! I got a thousand federal small pistol primers for 34 dollars. That seems pretty in line with midway's prices. I also bought 5 lbs of blue dot powder. That was 75 and should last me a good long while. Surprisingly the thing that was hard to find was 9mm fmj bullets.

Were there lots of primers, or were you lucky to get those?

what show was this? Are they there tomorrow? Brother wants to go.

5 pounds of powder, you need another 4000 primers for all of the Blue Dot. Do you have to shoot FMJ or will you use lead?

The show is on tomorrow at the philadelphia convention center at OAKS. just a bit west of valley forge.

 

From the one guy I bought from he had a 1000 primer per person limit. He was not the only one with small primers in stock.

 

I did not even think about the FMJ vs Lead bullets. I will have to give that some thought.

buy the dillon yet?

I have not made a purchase yet. I think I may go with the Lee Loadmaster instead. The Dillion is too expensive for me right now.

Lead bullets

 

Lead works fine but don't push them too hard.

 

They are also much dirtier. No way around that as the lube burns causing the residue but it is easily cleaned off.

TB, This is vinny from hunting world guns & ammo, if you are interested in learning about what you would need to get started with reloading, you can reach me at 917-709-8729

Vinny.

I will not be going to the show tomorrow and didn't want you to have to bring your books.

Max,

Would you know if the group discount on Dillon is only for presses, or for the complete Dillon line?

all stuff. Contact vinny. =)

is this discount still active?

I'm also curious. Looks like I'm going to need to start reloading .223 and .243 soon.

Yes, my understanding was this was ongoing discount for NJGF members. Please contact vinny for exact pricing.

 

=)

I got a 650 from Vinny a few weeks ago.He beats the Blue Press catalog prices.

I bought a 550 from Vinny and I am thrilled with it.

Vinny is a real stand up guy.

And he has great prices.

I'm also curious. Looks like I'm going to need to start reloading .223 and .243 soon.

 

I was wondering if Vinny still offered a discount on Dillion products? Thanks Tom
