That is fine. I understand. There are several members on Glocktalk that bought presses and such through me. Scott, a moderator here, has recently bought a Dillon press through me. You can PM him and ask him about his service through me. My prices are lower than Dillon's prices and include shipping, even to AK. You pay the same price as someone in the lower 48.

I am building (having built) a website as we speak. I will be accepting VISA, Mastercard, and Discover debit and credit cards online. I am looking into accepting E-checks too. The website will launch next weekend and the address is: Freakshow Bullets.

I am a cast bullet manufacturer with a Type 06 FFL. I sell reloading equipment on a drop ship basis. You send me the money, I order from my supplier, and your order is drop shipped directly to you. Turn around time is one week usually, sometime a week and a half.

Scott is a forum contributor
Don't want to derail the thread. I ordered a 650XL from Tubby. I used a personal check. Service was quick and he kept me informed all the way. Good price as well. That is why I could go with the 650XL.

OK here's my take on buying loading equipment. If your pretty sure that reloading is going to be the end all beat all to your ammunition needs then do it right the first time if at all possible. You should buy the absolute best that you can afford the 1st go around. I've been reloading for over 30 years and I can tell you there is some real junk out there pretending to be loading equipment. These companies do not sell junk (Dillon, RCBS, Redding, Lyman, and most Lee stuff is decent but definitely lower end) there are others but these are the big boys. Now if you are just going to load a few boxes of pistol rounds every so often you can get away with cheap lower end stuff mostly (is that a word). If you are going to try and load match grade rifle ammo than you best be looking at something that has the tolerances to limit things like run out on your bullets. So to load the best ammo you need the best equipment. If you can't afford it than (A) Save your money till you can or (B) buy cheap that will get you by till you spend more money to do it all over and get what you really need to do the job correctly. Just my thoughts for what it's worth, which is excactly what you paid for it

To validate myself, here is a partial pic from my FFL. I wouldn't have this license unless I'm for real. The ATF doesn't look kindly towards posers.

Not a problem. I wanted to have site to start off with but raising starting capital is tough and I absolutely refuse to take out a business loan. I'm doing it the old fashioned way-one sale at a time and reinvesting into the business.

I just spent $900 on an order for custom molds. That hurt.

So, Ghuqu2, did you get your press yet? Got it mounted? How many rounds did you crank out so far?

Not yet . Been sick as a dog for a week, my production pc fubar'ed Monday, and I've just finished rebuilding it and reinstalling needed apps. I plan to have it next week if I can find all my prices again and keep off the porcelain goddess.
