i love my dillon 650 progressive press, oh so much faster then the rcbs single stage i used, it's a shock to go to a fast press when it took you a hour or more of work to run off 100 rounds, then all the sudden you can do it in 10 minutes while farting around. i've only put about 2000 rounds through the 650, i burn about 80 rounds a week competing in bowling pin matchs, that triples when i go to play, .357 mag with buying cast lead bullets $2.25 per 50, copper plated lead $3.35 per 50, jacketed hollow point/full metal jacket about $5 per 50, i could shave some more money off of the cast lead if i threw my own lead but i aint that dedicated

I'm too lazy and don't shoot enough. When I shoot, I tend to stick to my .22's for cost effectiveness.

I work about a mile from Dillon. In fact I drive by them everyday.

bowling pins are fun, check around in your area it's a blast, my best time is around 4 seconds that's among the fastest at my range, but i aint even a wart on the ass of a real pin shooter at 2 seconds. 5 pins 25 feet away completely off of a 4' tall 6'x3' table

I really only shoot these browning superposed 12 and 20 I recently got from my gramps.

Check out the 1974 Aber/Fitch leather gun cases. I think I whacked 80 quail with the 20 this year. I may never use my pump again...I mean with a O/U that light, you def get your bird with the second shot. The only time a pump would be good is when another bird jumps before you've had a chance to reload.

My gramps died in Oct, and I'm the only hunter in my family. I got the two matching superposed's (12 & 20 shown) one 12ga citori, and one sidebyside parker 12ga (which I thought would be a $20k gun, but turned out to be worth only $800)

The cases had gun oil from the 70's, two orange dog collars, and one of his whistles. Very proud to shoot my gramps's guns. They're well used too, which is great, because there's nothing worse than showing up on a hunt with a badass gun that's all shiny and perfect. At least when you miss, you only get **** for missin...if ya know what I mean.

Here's one from the front of the truck, last day of season for me Feb 21.
