Shipment
Quote from Reloader on May 17, 2013, 12:31 amAfter almost 8 weeks to the day I received shipping information for a 25.6 lb package. I'm very happy as I figured there was more of a wait. Order was placed on 3/22.

Quote from Reloader on May 20, 2013, 11:19 pmI received another shipping notification. The package is 7lbs so I am thinking it may be the swager. I place an order for the swager, 223 dies, case length gauge, tool head, and powder die on 3/28 so I am thinking it could be that or a quick change kit on an order I placed a couple weeks later. I can't tell yet because my card hasn't been charged. How much does a swager weigh?
At least the press comes tomorrow.

Quote from Reloader on May 22, 2013, 10:49 pmI received another shipment notification for a 3rd package. I would be surprised if it was the .223 dies. The only other thing it could be is the cartridge bin and bracket.
Received the 550 yesterday and it is perfect. Knocked out 100 rounds in no time.

The powder may have deviated around .1 grains but every time I checked the powder charge was right on the money. Night and day difference to the Lee pictured to the left.

Quote from Reloader on May 23, 2013, 8:37 pmWolftx81, you were right. I received everything other than the .223 dies. It was the .223 conversion kit, swager, tool head, powder die, and the 3rd shipment came a day early and it was the cartridge bin and bracket. That just leaves .223 dies and quick change. Thankfully I already have Lee .223 dies from when I reloaded .223 on the Lee press.
