  1. I’ve had a wooden cart, a Rugged Gear, and now a Range Tactical. The RT is my favorite by far. Just be mindful not to load the front down with too much stuff. Makes it hard the steer. The brake leaves something to be desired as well. I use a bungee cord with hook in wheel, other hook stretched to handle when I’m at a hilly range. 

  2. I won this in a raffle recently. No real need for it. It is a beautiful gun. Colt series 70 innards.
    “Republic of Texas 1 of 1836” model. 
    New in box. 2 mags, bushing wrench, cleaning kit.  Also have custom slide by Ranger Leather. 
    This would make a great Christmas gift! 
    MSRP $949. They sell on gunbroker for $849. 
    I’ll take 850, you are getting the slide free!  Prefer FTF in Texas, shipping available on your dime. 
    First “I’ll take it gets it”

    As with everything I sell on SASSWIRE, 100% satisfaction guaranteed. If you don’t like it I’ll refund money (less shipping)

  3. Most research has shown that hunting/shooting feral hogs is not an adequate population control measure. Hoggs are very smart. Any hunting pressure and the go nocturnal. Any gunshot that causes a pig to squeal send the rest of the sounder running. Traps are barely more effective. 
    in surprised that some sort of piggy birth control pill has not been developed. 

  4. I have a SKB butt stock, has been cracked & repaired for sale. It’s not the prettiest but it is fairly solid and works. Has a kick-eze buttpad on it. Would be a good stick to cut down for a smaller shooter. 
    I’ll ship it, you try it out. If it works for you send me $200. If not, just ship it back. I want you to be 100% happy with it. I will also consider most any trade!

  5. I’m starting g to sweat my unique stash. I’m down to my last 8lb jug. Have seen any for sale at any price for a while. It’s a very versatile powder!

    I’ve heard the reason it is so scarce is that it is used in the big military howitzer  rounds, and they’ve been sending a lot of it to Russia (via Ukraine :D) hopefully it will start showing up again. 
    I use it in

    45-70

    38-55

    30-40 Krag

    7.5 X 55 Swiss

    44 mag

    it also goes good on grits & eggs (that’s for you Lumpy :P )

    Lee turret: How do you guys that have loaded "thousands of rounds" keep the dang thing indexing?  Do you have a box of the plastic collets (or whatever it's called) that rides up and down the "corkscrew" rod and "indexes" the tool head?

     

    As someone said earlier.  Toss the indexing components and the Lee turret works as a single stage w/o die swap out.  BUT, for me it's pistol caliber only (.44 Mag and .38 S&W) because there's too much slop in the tool head for bottle-neck rifle reloading.

     

    And before you accuse me of Lee bashing... I've been reloading on a Lee single stage (now called Challenger) since 1986.  Everything - including pistol calibers.  That is until I started CAS.  Then I bought two Lee turrets because I needed more throughput.  IMO they are junk.

     

    Now running two Dillon 650s... and still the Lee single stage for anything that requires accuracy better than minute-of-steel-plate.

     

     

    ETA:  The Lee Auto Bench Prime is junk too.

     

    The whole trick on the plastic indexer thingy is to order about a 1/2 dozen (.50¢ each) put them in a safe place. You will never need them. If you don’t have a spare you will eat them like M&Ms!

    See...here's the problem Hoss. I made no mention of Lee, Hornady or any other manufacturer's quality.

     

    I made mention that to say "So I won't right way tell you to go out and spend $2k on a Dillon setup" is terribly misleading to a new shooter. This statement clearly implies that one has to spend a lot of money to get started with a Dillon. It's comparing a relatively higher end machine from Dillon to a more basic model. Why not compare a Dillon 550?

     

    Cheers!

    And I said that Lee makes very good presses at a very good price. 
    Dillon makes an arguably better press for a lot more money. 
     

    a new reloader will need a lot more than just the press. That’s why kits are popular. 
     

    I’d bet you a hamburger against a steak you have a lot more than 239 in your primary press, and probably closer to 2000. What do you typically load on?

    Well you should regret spreading misleading info.

     

    Comparing a "KIT" to a Press...whatever. At least you didn't quote a 1050 :wacko:

     

    Folks, you don't need to spend $2k to get going on a Dillon...gotta LOVE the Wire!

     

    Phantom

    That's kit!

     

    And why quote a 750? Why not a 1050???

     

    What's wrong with you folks???

     

    Phantom

    which of those items would you leave off? I’m sure you could get it down to 12-1500
     

    A base square Deal B is 639. Would still need a lot of other items 

     

    a Lee Classic turret kit has scale and some other stuff

     

     to here is no question that Dillon makes a better machine. And their warranty is excellent. But Lee also makes very serviceable machines for a lot less

  9. The Lee turret is a good little press. Easy caliber changes, I can easily knock out 100 rounds + in an hour. 
    I have a D750 (dedicated to 38sp) a D550 for 45-70, 38-55, 45acp 

    the rest I load on the Lee turret. Mostly in smaller batches 50-100 or so. Caliber changes are easy if you buy extra tool heads. 
    if I could only have 1 it would be the Lee Turret. 
    Lee equipment is very value priced. But it works very well. Yes the Dillon is a better, smoother press no doubt. 
     

    if it was me, I’d probably go with the Lee 6 pack. I’ve never seen one in person, but I bet it works fine. Plus you have a station for a powder check die, and a bullet feeder. 
     

    let us know, and good luck! 

  10. He had the exact brass I was looking for!!!! Total scammer. But he has an answer for everything! When I told him ship and I would pay on arrival he said he didn’t have the money to ship it. If I would pay shipping upfront he would send it. I guess get to a few bucks for shipping is better than nothing!!!

    Plano gun guard. 
    I took out the pluck foam, cut a memory foam mattress topper to fit bottom & top, and one for middle. 
    I put shotgun, rifle, pistol, layer of foam, then another rifle, shotgun pistol. They fit tight. Guns don’t move. Case is heavy, but has wheels. 

    This is what it looks like. I keep my guns in Borestores in the safe. They are very good protection.
