Fedex just stopped by...
Just got my Christmas presents dropped off by Fedex. I wasn't sure they'd arrive before Christmas, but they did.
Here's what I got.
Bullet Tray:
Strong Mount:
Cartridge Case Bin:
And last but not least, I finally got a digital scale:
And a few little odds and ends that will make my life a little easier.
My 550b has been good to me, so I thought it was finally time to "pimp" it out a little.
That's all, just wanted to share the joy with guys that would understand.
Merry Christmas

Yes you will... and you will be surprised how much the change in ergonomics with the addition of the bullet tray and empty case bin will increase your production, and just make it easier on you.
Good choice on the scale too.... I love mine

Love the sound of the fed ex truck as long as its not bringing my CC bill.
So are you guys in California still going to be able to buy primers and bullets after February?

I'm glad to hear that. I thought the stuff I bought would be nice, but really wouldn't change the characteristics of loading that much. And I really feared that it would be less stable than before. It sounds like I have nothing to worry about.

Reloading components are not effected by the upcoming laws.

I still need the 505 to double check the new Dillon.
I got a few other things as well, stop by tomorrow and check them out.

I wonder how many new people are going to get into reloading because of the new laws?
Let us know how you like your new set up.

That's good. Typical politican. Stop sales of ammo; but components are still available. That should push more people into reloading and more component shortage in Ka. Stock up now.
May also create a small black market for reloaders selling their ammo under the table.
I wonder how the upcoming FCC control of the internet (eventually) will affect loaders who get their data off the web? I can see them *trying* to block that data. Get you load books.
Congrats on the haul XD.

SUpposedly, we'll see how long it takes those bastards in SAC to catch on that thre are a bunch of us that reload. IMO, it's more about recovering 9%-10% sales tax than anything else.  I'll just buy ammo when I am passing thru AZ or NV, motherpuckers! 
Nice XMAS Chris. I borke down & ordered the case feeder for my 650, free shipping & the prices are going up next year. You'll love the dig scale. The other goodies are nice, they do make sense if you have the strong mount, but bench mounted, I could live w/o them.

It's funny, over at Calguns there's complaint after complaint about the new law, yet not so many wanting to learn to reload. Most of them just think it's too hard or too much of a hassle.

The thing that pisses me off the most is that a lot of places won't ship 22 ammo either. The law says "handgun ammo," but what the hell does that mean  Graf's just sent me an email last week saying they won't be shipping 22
I'm optimistic that the law will eventually be over turned. Not on the grounds of anything gun related, but on some type of free trade and the right to shop where we want BS.
End rant...

Ya, I figure if worse comes to worse, and they do ban components, I'll just drive to AZ or NV once every couple years and stock up.
And congrats on the case feeder. Let us know how it works.

No restrictions on black powder and round balls.

Well the issue w/ 22lr is it does go into a handgun. Just another way to limit your gun rights & collect more taxes! No, I'm afraid the liberals in this state have got us on this one. The states DO have the right to limit/regulate commerce. You see it all the time in other states w/ cigerette & alcohol laws, taxes, etc. It's taken the parasitic bastards awhile, but they have figured out the way around the 2A is regulating &/or taxing the crap out of ammo. It's why I can never understand how any gun owner can vote Democrat & feel good about themselves. Trading your gun rights & other personal freedoms for a pay increase or abortion issues, I just don't get it.
I am sure case feeder will be a god send for my 650. You guys still need to come up & let me show you this whole casting thing. Have a great Xmas Chris.

IT came today! Took me about 10min to install it & get it running. Pretty sweet, should have bought it when I bought the press, but free shipping anyway. Now if I can just get some hours back next year, life is good.

The whole casting thing is one of my main two gun goals for next year.

I'm off for 3 weeks for winter break and I think Justin's work closes between Christmas and the new year. So if you have any time off next week maybe we'll drive up one day. I'll PM you.

It's actually easier to learn IMO, than reloading. The cost of equip is less too, unless you have to have a Star/Magma sizer, which I think is a must, but that is JMO. The Lyman Cast Bullet handbook is a good starter. Getting cheap or free alloy moving forward is going to be the tough part though. With lead ww being banned in more & more states, manuf will shift to non lead sooner than later. Maybe 2yrs left on the cheap/free ww alloy. Buying alloy & casting is just not cost effective. At much more than $1.50/#, I would rather buy my practice bullets & only cast my hunting bullets. Ive got about 1400# of alloy stashed, sounds like a lot, but that is really only about 50K bullets. I am always on the look out for cheap/free alloy, but I stopped hitting the tire shops around here, just not worth the time & gas money. I still ask though when ever I go in for tires or oil change.

I bought everything I will need to start a couple of months ago. I took it all out of the boxes and put it on a shelf. And there it sits. The local scrap yard sells lead for 60 cents a pound.
The Star/Magma sizer is going to have to wait a while.

I just set everything up. It went together nicely. I'm really impressed with the digital scale.

At 60c/#, I would buy all I could afford & stock pile it. It doesn't take up much room & I doubt you get better prices moving forward as the cheap lead WW source will dry up. At that price, casting your own makes for pretty cheap shooting. The only thing I shoot jacketed out of anymore is my 357sig. Everything else gets lead bullets. Many of my rev have never even seen a jacketed bullet.
