Craiglist, Garage Sale, and FB marketplace Scores

Yesterday I scored a Dillon 550C progresive reloader. In like new condition. Along with all the accessories for 9mm reloading. Plus a chronometer, scales, gauges, dies, powder, the mounting system(strong legs), 800 new casing, 1000 used cases (already cleaned) 3000 primers, tons of spare pieces parts, and...are you ready....3000 hollow point rounds.

Also included was a competition rig with a left hand 1911 kydex holster and 4 mag holders. I am right handed, but the extra mag holders are something I was getting ready to purchase.

$ 600 !!

The best part was the seller was an old high school friend that I hadn't seen since 1979.

Years back I picked up a Pacific aka Hornady kit brandy new in the box for 60 bones. I only do .45, but it's packed away since my renovation. I'm running low so I may break it back out.

He decided to shoot sporting clays with some buddies. So, I wound up with all his 9mm stuff....except the pistols which he already sold.
I figure that I got about $2400 worth of stuff for $600. Heck, just the 3000 rounds is over 1k for FMC...hollow points are more.

At a time when this sort of stuff is getting harder to find/purchase..

I hit the jackpot !

Shotgun reload equipment isn't hard to find but handgun stuff and in particular 9mm stuff is hard to come by...

I just stopped at the Blue Crow Antique Mall on Saturday. They have a bunch of reloading stuff for sale. I don't know anything about reloading so I can't give you any details. They are on the Virginia Eastern Shore. I live in South Jersey so I won't be back there for about a month. Their info is:

Great Deal !! Have had great luck with Dillon products . Still have my XL650 from the '90s . Used to run about 500 rounds of .45 Auto through it a week . Just a little compressed air to keep it clean and a little lube to keep handle from squeaking was all it took .

Good to get the primers too.
