So, years ago my wife and my oldest boy went together and bought me a Dillon 550 reloader. Now mind you the kid was a grunt in Uncle Sam's Army and didn't have much money back then but he stepped up!
He just got a new house in Juneau AK with a shop and everything so I figured it was time to return the favor since his birthday was coming up and all. Guess what it costs to ship a Dillon 550 to Alaska! $95 friggin dollars! So he gets back from salmon fishing and there's this big azzed Dillon box sitting on his kitchen table (I had my grandson go over and take it in the house when it got delivered). The boy calls me all excited and I told him "Just wait, you may be cussing me before this is all over, you gotta get all the rest of the schit that you need to reload and straight up front, you're not gonna save a damn dime, you'll just get to shoot more!"
He's mostly been shooting his AR-15 so I got the .223 conversion kit with the machine. When he called he told me he just acquired (TOM, you're gonna love this!) a lever action 45-70, so he's gonna have to get all the stuff to reload that too. I haven't heard anything out of my daughter-in-law but I figure she might be a bit peeved, he's already ordering schit online (well, the stuff he can't find in Juneau) and depleting the family fortune.
Maybe that Dillon will confuse the hell out of him and he'll get me and the wife plane tickets to come up there so I can get him on track. Nah.............he'll just get one of his shooting buddies that reloads to come over and help him, Beer is cheaper than plane tickets!
