Used reloading equipment

I was in a favorite gun shop this morning and saw lots of excellent used reloading equipment. There were three MEC 650 presses in 12 gauge, 28 gauge and .410 for $50.00 each. To top it off, there were several shelves of like-new RCBS dies in popular calibers for $15.00 each. This shop discounts heavily for cash transactions and when I go back I will have more green on me. All the best...

It would be nice to have a "good" gunshop around. The local gunshop doesn't seem to want to sell you what you want. Several years ago I went in for a specific bullet and he told me "no you don't want that, you want these". I said no I want X so order them for me and left it at that. I went back a few weeks later and he still didn't have what I wanted. Again the same story. So I drove 130 miles, one way, and bought the bullets I wanted along with several lbs of powder and other reloading necessities. I think he lost and I've told him so as well. This has happened a few times and I only go there when absolutely necessary. He seems to want to cater more to the bow hunting crowd.
