Uh oh.... those aren't any good. You should really drop that off here in Trinidad before you get hooke.....I mean frustrated by all the time spent on this horrible time consuming hobby. In all seriousness, great choice. With a little maintenance, it should last forever.
Get rid of that scale!
What scale?Quote:

I am guessing the one on top of the box. Congrats on the new hobby.

I'm giving you shit. Buy once! Cry once Brother! Save up and get you a really nice scale. That press is gorgeous by the way.

The RCBS charge master is great.

I saw the price on these big name scales and said the same thing.... but in due time... we'll see you buying a pricey scale on here soon [Coffee]
I can't justify a charge master when I can achieve the same thing for $300 less.Quote:

Very excellent scale, read the reviews on it. Or, check out the Brian Enos scales, they have great reviews and lifetime warranty too.
Oh yea, and what you bought is honestly worse than buying an AR lower receiver.
You think you can get buy with just the press, then realize all the other crap you have (sorry, GET) to buy. Then, ya gotta feed it too!
Reloading is very addictive, almost as much as shooting.

Congrats on the new loading gizmo. I have a new reloading gizmo still new in a box, waiting for more stuff, better scale than what came with it, and..........knowing wft I am supposed to do with it.
Cool, brother.
I seriously need to get schooled on reloading.
You and I both, brother.
This threads makes me want to reload some rounds!
Welcome to the world of reloading!!! I have not upgraded my system in 5 years and have a hatred for my self not doing so. If you get the bug you will understand. Crying happens often till you have your own setup and a need to on a yearly basis.Quote:

Now I need to get some more casting equipment and get busy.
I forgot to mention....hanging out with Randy is BAD if you want to keep some money in your pocket. LOL
I have this insane itch to get started on a new bolt gun because of him. The effort I am using to restrain myself is taxing! :)
Finally, someone's reloading bench that is more cluttered than mine!
Glad I'm not the only one. :beer:Quote:
