Just giving him the option for another dillon in the same price range that gives him the ability to load for rifle. Uses common dies, can do more and holds value. Plus the 550 has a broader base to resell to which the SDB may not.Quote:

You guys be quiet. Mrs bo bought it for birthday gift. She already knows I need a 550 and a couple caliber conversions for rifle. Probably Anniversary or Christmas gift. She understands how important that second press is.
Single stage is set up for 38sp which we have good inventory and don't shoot much anymore since she started collecting 9mm wheel guns.
SDB for 9mm since we shoot alot.
550 for rifle calibers. I can wait until after I get long range rifle set up.
I hear you about waiting. I've had rifle reloading components for years, but have yet to even start yet.
Glad I could be of help. If you have any other questions let me know.Quote:

Some may remember I mentioned that I've never experienced something like this, but I wouldn't back out on a family in a time of need. And that still stands.
However, if faced with participating in this type of situation again, I will opt out and recommend that professionals in an accredited facility manage the passing of a loved one. I'll plan my visits and do what I can to bring whatever level of comfort I can provide during those times.....and maintain some level of personal life and rest that is required for someone that is going to work every day. I had no idea just how draining this process can be, and the different stages of "caregiver" emotional roller coaster ride is about....and watching a mind and body revert back to an infantile state.
I've seen and learned a lot this far into it, I'll see it through, and check that box completed.
Sorry OBC, thst stuff is tough.
I didn't realize you were going hands on buddy. That's got to be rough. When my family member decided to do that, it was done in two weeks. You've got to be experiencing stuff you never thought you would. Hang in there.
Sure as shit isn't easy OBC. If you need to talk hit me up bro
Sorry you have to endure this Chris.
I can only imagine what you must be going through - doing this while working a full time job and trying to do life.
My father was under hospice care for an extended period with my mother as the primary caregiver and a nurse coming in periodically. We were there only the last week after receiving the dreaded, but expected, phone call. It was a stressful, dreadful situation. It was heartbreaking to see my father in such a frail and helpless condition.
You're a better man for having stepped up to such a huge responsibility and undertaking.
