Makes you wonder what his reloading room looks like.

If I remember correctly, Jim Shockey had a post on FB awhile back speaking well of Jr and that they had hunted together.

He hunts north of here fairly regularly, I'm told. There are parts of Canada that do a lot of big game guided hunts; he's probably not short of cash to afford them.

I hear he is not very cooperative with journalists that turn up in the airport he flies in and out of.

I actually enjoy reloading, so if I was fortunate enough to hit it big, I'd still reload of course. I'd have a different press for each caliber, though. :)

Same here. It's part of the larger "shooting hobby" for me.

I agree, right now I am tempted by another 650 as much as I am tempted by another pistol. Pistol takes up less room though.

Yeah, some have extensive woodworking shops and buy their ammo, I would rather buy my tables!

If I was rich(pun intended);

I'd have a a wood working shop with a 20" Rockwell resaw, and a Delta Unisaw and shaper table and a lathe and a...

I'd also have a machine shop with a 5 axis CNC mill, and a slack grinder, and water jet, and forge, and a heat treat oven, and a...

I'd also have a Dillon 1050 in .45acp, and one in 9mm, and 10mm, and one in...

Oh yeah, A Pacific progressive shot shell press in 12ga and 20ga too.

When I make my first million I'll start planning what I can do with the second million.

The end of last year I added a 1050 to my work bench (650 on the other end). Had to do a bit of "statergery", as space is tight. After 20 years, my 650 started breaking here and there*. Even though Dillon replaced the broken parts, I didn't want to be down for any amount of time. Also, Dillon has done REALLY good by me, so I it felt real good to throw some business their way.

*broke the lower knuckle 2 years ago, and broke a strut last year.

I like reloading, but getting the press set up is the most tedious bullshit in the world.

After President Trump's speech at this year's NRA Annual Meeting in Atlanta, I saw Don Jr. walking around the show floor, browsing the latest wares and shaking hands. He spent a lot of time in the Beretta booth. Must be a PF member. :p

This is known, he's a pretty focused precision reloader.

Also, GuanoLoco is rich and he reloads.

I am rich? Cool.

I don't feel rich but the news that I am (or at least LL thinks I am) makes me happy.

Now If I only had more time to practice.

And it seems like I get in the middle of one thing and run out of another thing, why I ended up getting the second 550. Now that I transitioned to a 650 and a 550 I am afraid I stepped onto a slippery slope...

I use a turret press and all my dies are preconfigured on individual turrets. The only set up I do is bullet seating and powder measure adjustment. If I'm going with an established load, there's no set up at all, just verification of settings.

This is why I have 6 tool heads for my 650 and 2 tool heads for my 1050. :) :)

Loading has nothing to do with saving once you start shooting . Its a pleasure you get being self sufficient doing something you like AND enjoy. reloading for me is as enjoyable as shooting itself. I know a lot of people are going to think I am crazy.

If I were rich, I'd be karma-ing off my Dillon's, and never loading a round again......except into guns.

I'm not a millionaire but I did go down the road of finding good deals on a shop Smithy, a mill and lathe, and lots of other tools to be able to my own projects. It turns out time becomes an issue and after the mill and lathe sat idle for two years, I sold them for a profit.

It turns out that after you make your million, you need to be able to retire so that you have enough time to play.

Once your wealth is redistributed and I have a 1050 with Mk7, I'll feel more equal.

I heard his NYC carry permit has a few 1911 pistols on it, made by a biz we all know well here at PF.

No, but I'm sure you can trust him. He's said in past, "If you like your Dillon's, You can keep your Dillon's."

What could go wrong?:rolleyes:
