Yeah, if you had that kind of cash back then you could get a decent home.

ok people... I think I can sneak away for 1 hour today to buy this...
so... .45 or .357? I don’t own any guns for them yet
I went back on got it! .45ACP

I’m thinking a Kimber Commander size! would make a perfect carry gunDont forget to post a picture of the 45 when you get one.
You won’t regret that purchase! Or a 1911 to go with it! Even if you get a cheap rusty, beat up, abused 1911 you will still like it.View attachment 982328
there she is... I waited in line for 30 minutes for the 9mm scavenger to get their $30/box. So, I was like why the hell not, just buy it
$389+tax!
never owned a 1911. shot many 2011’s and I love the trigger!You won’t regret that purchase! Or a 1911 to go with it! Even if you get a cheap rusty, beat up, abused 1911 you will still like it.
this will be press #4 on the work benchI've reloaded several thousand rounds from all my handgun calibers with mine and it is one of the best presses I have ever used. I would like to have a press for each caliber, even though it is super simple to change over from one to another. I just don't have the room to do so. I still use a RCBS Rock Chucker for all my rifle calibers.
don’t know... but if you find out. I’m looking for 9mm and .40/10mmWhere are people finding Square Deal caliber conversion? They are nearly all backordered on the Dillon site, as are the carbide dies individually. Dillon told me last week expect a 24 week delay until they had them??

my brother told me not to buy the SDB becuse it’s 60’s technology. I told him, his Colt 10mm is 1900’s technology!In my case, I have three SDB presses. I built a stand that holds two presses that sits on a shelf, the third is mounted for use at the reloading bench.
I just un-bolt the one on the bench and swap it with the other that I want to use next.
The presses on the shelf stand are mounted close together to minimize the space they consume. Of course, one could mount the unused presses directly to the shelf itself for storage.
While swapping out the cartridge change kit is not difficult, I frequently make small runs of reloads. The time to make the cartridge change on the SDB would be several times longer than actual reloading run itself. Swapping out the entire press on the bench just takes a few minutes.
I have not recently looked at the economics of buying a complete SDB versus just the cartridge change kit with powder measure, but 12-15 years ago when I bought my SDB's the extra cost for the complete press was worth it for me for the convenience of super quick "cartridge conversions". Besides, if I have a maintenance issue with one press, I have spare parts to keep me going while I wait for replacements.
Finally, I'll add, 30 years ago funds were not as available as they are today or when I bought the SDB's and I could not consider the extra expense of buying multiple presses.
we it goes like this... I can’t buy primers, guns were way over priced in 2020, .... let’s get a new high speed, slick press with the money burning in the walletIt's odd, people are buying high speed/capacity presses and can't find enough components to feed it for an hour.

my local Gun shop is completely stacked with guns! no ammo... no primers... no buying gunsSome might not normally have the money because they shoot it all up. Now with no ammo to buy every weekend, enough has piled up that it hit the light switch that let them realize they could be their own source, if not now, next time.
just wait for the high end and used gun market to hit!
my list... Night Hawk 1911 4.25”!Ready and set....
