A little background.
My father-in-law is a class 3 FFL. He doesn't shoot much anymore. When he does it's mostly Class 3 stuff from time to time, and he mostly deals with law enforcement in his business. Several yrs ago he had a bad experience with reloaded ammo so he quit reloading and just buys surplus stuff. fast forward...
Last week while I was visiting he told me he'd decided to give me all of his reloading equipment for Christmas..I knew he was planning to give me his Dillon 550 but it took us a couple of hours to pack it all up.
The short story is a Dillon 550 with full setups for .308, .223 and 45 (maybe more, I'm not sure exactly how meny die sets/shell plates and die plates were in there. Lots of dillon accessories, a Lyman power trimmer, enough primers in all sizes to last me for the rest of my life, and a bunch of LC M80 ammo, a full 5 gallon bucket of polished deprimed mixed .223, a few hundred .223 bullets, a few hundred cast .45 SWCs (we split them into 2 ammo cans to keep the weight reasonable). At some point I started feeling guilty, it was like I hit the reloader lottery.
Now I gotta make room for it all before it gets shipped.
