want to make $40-90 an hour in your leisure time at home?

good luck selling used tools for the same price you bought them for. Not very often does that happen, done a lot of construction work and bought a lot of new and used tools. Why would I want to pay full price for used equipment? or anyone for that matter.

I was pointing out the "break even" factor on the initial outlay of $ on the press. My numbers weren't exact either. whether its a nickle or a dime. Yes its an asset but you have to recoup the initial outlay before you can say I am making $40/hr.

Agree to disagree ;)

What about the bullet swaging question?

wasn't trying to get into a debate on accounting practices for an asset.

elittle I've done some bullet swaging with a friend. It's ok and you can save some money but IMO it isnt worth it. We did rifle and used spent 22 rimfire casing to make 223 bullets. They were rated ok IMO. They werent real hard but to hard to expand in flesh, good for targets shooting on steel or silouhette at up to 300 but thats about it on good (not great) accuracy. This has been 20 yrs ago so things may have improved I dont know.

A new one is $440~. I don't buy based on a warranty, thats just me. I never buy extended warranties and I don't base a purchase decision on an items warranty. Its good or its not.

Thanks for sharing your reloading setup.

buying a Dillon 650xl this weekend. Gonna have to buy everything in stages, cuz I dont keep a large limit on my Credit Card, but I went over to a friends house and watched him go crazy on his dillon 550 and was hooked. I could only imagine the plinking in my future, but all in, it would be a great after crash barter tool. If you can keep your powder dry and stock up on primers, lube, etc. I havent ever reloaded anything, but I have been watching youtube videos like crazy trying to get a better understanding of the principles. I understand the dillon video is actually really good for novices like myself. I am just happy that I have a friend with almost the same press that cant wait to help me set mine up. Our group pretty much decided that this would be a better after shtf occupation than candlemaking. :)
