  1. Colt US Army 1911 and Colt 1991. Serial number on the 1911 indicates it was manufactured around 1913. Bought it from my division officer in 1972. He had bought it at a government auction for $25. Still shoots great, but now I mainly use the 1991. To keep the cost down, I reload my own ammo with a Dillon reloader. The gun I'm most accurate with is my .44 magnum Ruger Vaquaro. Its a cannon and I can only handle around 3 cylinders worth before my hands get too sore.. Big Smile

    Joe,

    Dillon makes nice stuff but, Your not going to convince me that you bought a dillon to save money on reloads unless you shoot tens of thousands of rounds a year.

    Reloading for accuracy, now that I will buy into.

    Reloading to relax and take the stress out, that I will buy into.

    Reloading to save mone?? I'd buy into that if you told me you had a LEE press. I'd also think you were a gluton for punishment, but don't tell me you own dillon to save money!!Yes

    Ok... ya got me! I do actually enjoy controlling the loads and it's something I do to relax. I started reloading about 38 years ago using my Dad's hand Lee loader. I thought I was doing good loading a round every couple of minutes, or so.. [:D] I inherited the Dillon 550 from my Dad, with dies for everything I shoot.. 30-30, .44 mag, .44 special, 357, 38, and .45 acp. Now if I could just convince my wife to load the bulk stuff for me... [Y]

  3. Hi Joe, good to see you posting! Hope you're doing fine! My mc's asked me to greet you. Funny article, only the reader's comments underneath aren't always tastefull. Take care, Tim.

    Hi Tim, Good to hear from your too!! Give the amps a hug for me (when they are cooled off of course)... [:D] Are you going to upgrade the caps in them? It also appears that the cables should be upgraded to coat hangars as well... [:|]

    Things are going well! We'll be going on a cruise/wedding/honeymoon to Alaska in May.. [:D] We plan on getting married on a glacier in Juneau on May 10th. Yvonne has encouraged my audio passion and pretty much let me do what I want (hopefully this will continue AFTER the marriage) and has even agreed to build a new Home Theatre/media/library room onto the house...
