Old Dillon-Time Flies

Ok so I'm a little slow at getting to things...I pulled my Dillon 550 out of the box this week thinking it was time to set it up and start saving some money on bullets. I took out the manual and followed the directions and got her all set up. I then pulled out the dies that came with it (44 Mag.) and started to adjust them which took a couple of nights seeing that I had never reloaded before and I wanted to make sure everything was perfect. "Measure twice" is what all you told me so that is exactly what I did. When I was reading the manual the receipt fell out. I was shocked when I say the purchase date of 1988. The press looks like brand new. No rust or corrosion anywhere. It is amazing to me how time flies.

    last week I traded in my 4-wheeler that I bought in 1990, The people at the cycle shop must have said four or five times "man this is a old Title, They dont look like this anymore, havent seen one like it in 10 years".

    My son is going to be 17 in a few days...Now I'm lookin fer gray hair.
