Lucky score on used loading equipment
« on: January 15, 2009, 04:50:17 PM »
A few weeks back a local dealer told me he had bought some used reloading supplies from the widow of a recently deceased gentleman.  He asked if I would be interested in purchasing the lot. 

Tonight I met him at his storage garage and purchased the following equipment:

- Six sets of dies including two Lee carbide pistol sets, three Lee deluxe rifle sets and one Lee RGB set.
- RCBS 505 scale
- RCBS Uniflow powder dispenser
- RCBS rotary case trimmer
- Misc. RCBS components
- A couple boxes of .30 & .357 caliber bullets

 and the prize ... an RCBS A2 press!  Complete and in very nice condition although a bit dirty

The dealer then began rooting around the garage and said he thought he may have had another used press that he took in some time ago and would throw it in with the lot, if I wanted it.  Turns out that press was a Rockchucker that looked new.

I purchased the whole deal for $200.

I asked that should he see the wife of the deceased gentleman, please assure her that her husbands reloading supplies would be very appreciated and treated with care and respect.

 :)

that was one heckuva deal!!!
Even if you don't need most of it you could resell it and really do very well.
