    So who is ready to take the next step, or already has?
    When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.

    With respect to reloading, I have.

    Currently negotiating prices on Florida Gun Trader for a Dillon 650, and 1050 on Ebay. My biggest hurdle is finding a stockpile of powder.

    Well if not, then it is time for me to become a member on the star reloaders forum, and see if one of the members there can make me a shellplate, sizing die, and try to find dies for another caliber..

    Good dedicated press in its day, but from a practical standpoint, it would be easier to swap out calibers on a dillon or hornady ap for pistol rounds..

    But I hear that lee makes dies for the old phelps presses, which were copies of stars..

    I don't know what model it is, but it's literally an heirloom. I'd referb it and make a lamp out of it before I sold it. That's coming from a guy that doesn't have many heirlooms for what it's worth.

    Yea, right now powder availability is kinda sucking, although I see some rifle powders around pistol is much harder to come buy.

    Please, let me know if u got a lead on any .223 powder that's in stock right now. I'll worry about matching bullet weight to whatever burn rate I can find. I just need POWDER NOW! Thanks.

    If I run across some powder good for .223/5.56 loads, I'll grab some... I know you're good for it.
