...to thank Flamethrower!

I've been harassing him for about three months about loading shells. He spent gobs of my money, I've spent even more. And together I bought a Dillon Loader.

Well, after hundreds of text messages, dozens of phone calls I finally have my first finished product tonight!



I know it isn't much to most of you guys out there, but to you that know what it takes to buy everything, read all the books, put it all together (even building a room for it and a workbench!) make a gillion mistakes...

and when the smoke all clears I made three brand spanking new shells... I could die a happy man right now.

As it sits those shells cost me about $400.00 each (bought supplies at Gander! UGH)

Thanks again Flame. You've been a HUGE help to me! (did I mention he saved me money on the reloader?? and soon on supplies!)  

It's been a blessing meeting the few Wisconsin guys I have on here.

PS. What's the easiest way to clean up (25.5 grains x about 6 missed shells) of powder off the turntable?

Congrats!  I know you what you mean about reloading it can be frustrating but once you get the hang of it it's pretty fun, and you learned from a progressive at that!  I still have the Single stage Rockchucker

No problem D! Glad I could help.

To clean up the machine use the canned air for cleaning computers. It's about $5 a can at Walmart.

How did it charge if there was no case in the charge station?

Well.... when a case finally did hit it, yikes! POWDER EVERYWHERE!!! I'm thinking my lighter would make very quick work of it. WOOSH!

I have a small compressor I will try to use. thanks again for the help.

That special lube recipe works well. I put it on a little thick though. That created a LOT of problems. Learn....

Flame, I did a little work with the loader today, I am doing SOMETHING wrong, or I've set it up wrong. I need some help tweaking this thing sometime... I'll make it worth your time!
