In the house today prepping for the dreaded colonoscopy. So while I can't go anywhere I thought I would load some ammo. Today we're loading 38s with a 148 grain HBWC & HP38. The 1050 Dillon has me spoiled. Making ammo is so simple with this thing & not a pain in the you know where like tomorrow will be.

One of my better purchases as well.

Great machine to really crank out a thousands of whatever load you use often!

In regard to that other unpleasantness, I hope and pray everything comes out ok.

Thanks John. This is a routine one & probably my last one at this age. You loading .223?

Not today, that's an old picture.

I shoot a lot of 223 through AR-15s and one M16.

Other cartridges I run in large batches on the 1050 are 44sp Keiths, TC 45acp, 38 Keiths, and 45C.

It makes sense to set up and load piles of what one uses the most.

I long ago lost track of how many 38/357/10mm I have loaded on my 1050 predecessor RL-1000.

I've only seen one. It was mounted on a steel bench. I was allowed to load a few with it & was amazed how I could feel everything the machine was doing. Great machine & I've wanted a steel bench since.

Lynn there's a lot of Dillon 550 stuff at Flat Top Arms.

A 550 with about maybe 5 powder measures and boo-koo (beaucoup LOL) parts and accessories. Someone pawned it or it's there on consignment.

Thanks Bob. I'll check it out. But the truth is I have more Dillon stuff than I need from a guy I bought out several years ago.
