In early September of 2010 I finally got settled enough to get my second-hand Dillon

Ah, the early days of factory ammo and 1 gun...
Anyway, back to the story... The Dillon

The Dillon Shed
Then, in early December, teammate Kerry-D and I made it a point to start practicing weekly and soon I was coordinating group buys of powder and bullets for a sizeable group of us and reloading ALL THE TIME! Just to give you some sense of scale, in May, prepping for Phil Strader & Mike Seeklander's most excellent class, I spent 10 hours over two weeks loading 3,000 rounds for the class (I shot far less than that!). The basement became my home - most depressing.
At this point, the wife was overcome with wrath. I must add that it was not directed at the fact that I was doing my thing, as she really is my #1 fan, half-heartedly listening to me recounting harrowing tales of strength and fury, but rather at the fact that my process was inefficient to support my goal. See, the Dillon
After my finish at the 2011 Illinois State Match, she said, in no uncertain terms, that if I was following the Bassham method, I should "reward myself" with a better press: one that could support the dual goals of having X-thousand rounds on tap when I want AND allow me to take an active part in our family life. Additionally, she said she needed the basement back and that I should move my gear into my office room. She flipped through the Dillon Catalog, pointed at the 650 and the 1050 and said, "You really need to choose..."
So, this weekend I prepare to setup my new press!
Additionally, now that my day job has settled a bit, I'm hoping to have a full report next week regarding the press, along with a handful of articles on how to develop "front-sight focus" (for Ted G!), reloading for the .40 (some tips/tricks/my overly anal approach), a review of the most awesome 180gr .40 Bayou Bullets that I'll be using (I'm working up a new load!), and the first in a series of book reviews that were suggested by Tom B. 'Till then, go harass Scotty "Lightening" and Tony A. at the OPSC USPSA match this weekend!
Oh, and lastly, take a look at the contest for the new WIILSHOOT logo - Crowdspring is pretty amazing!
We're really set on #9, but if anyone things otherwise, leave a comment here...
