Scored a Sweet Deal

I was packing items into my storage unit to prepare for an upcoming move when the guy with the unit across from me approached to try to sell me some things. Only one thing caught my attention: a Dillon XL650. At the moment, I only had a 550b and an old RCBS single stage.

For $300, I scored the press, a spare powder hopper, the powder assembly, a Lee hand priming tool, and ~300 9mm and .45ACP bullets (plus the ammo can). The press is in pretty good shape, needing a bit of a cleanup, and a new primer chute. Other than those, any repairs appear minor.

He also tried to sell me an old break open S&W revolver (.38), but it was in pretty bad shape.

I'll be putting the case bullet feeders on my Christmas list.

Good deal.
I would have bought the break open .38 for a project gun.

I was tempted, but the $300 was already enough spending for one day.
