Trust me, once you start using it, you will never think of another press!

Nice score

Wow. Sweet deal. I just bought my off BrianEnos.com a week ago and I paid a lot more than that. Good job.

I'll probably be ordering in a couple weeks. I'll start with the 550 and the dies and coversion kits for 223 and 357 sig.

It will be nice to be able to build good quality ammo and still be able to shoot a lot of it.

If you only intend to shoot the cheapest stuff it probably doesn't make sense to reload as it isn't much cheaper to reload cheap as buy cheap. I'm a bit anal about things and since my AR is nearly a comp rifle it never made sense to feed it with crap. I wouldn't call my XD a comp quality weapon but given as I'm anal I tend to go with better than cheap.

I think this is going to be fun...

the rifle rounds is where you make your money back on the reloading setup the quickest, big savings. Depending on the pistol caliber, certain calibers help pay off the setup quicker.

thats not entirely true. i can buy wwb 45 for something like $30 a 100. Whereas i can reload for $13 a 100, so that is gonna save me quite a bit of money.

but once i get an AR i know the savings are really going to kick in

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine.

another question for you 550 wizards, this one is the 550 and not the 550b. anyone know what the difference is exactly?
