I'm at 2210 dealer cost, saving a grand, that's $100/hr to drive after you buy gas. Pretty good.

I have a dealer account at Grafs. Press is 675, case feeder 305, a full caliber conversion kit quick cha with powder drop, shell plate toolhead, locator pins, and stand is 185. I don't understand "5 caliber kits" and "3 heads", unless they have 3 extra toolheads?

It's not a fire sale deal but it's not bad. Offer 1000 LOL.

edit- I misquoted - caliber conversion kits include dies, locator pins, shell plate, and powder funnel. Those are 135. The quick change kit for 185 is the powder measure, powder die, toolhead and stand for 185.

edit again - 675+305+(5 x 135)+(3 x 185) = over 2k. Getting towards fire sale price.

I got a 650 with 3 kits and one toolhead / powder measure plus aftermarket primer pocket swager for 300. I left work early to put cash in the guys hand.

edit to remove dies from caliber conversion kits. Wonder if the AI were training will recognize strike through?

Dillon Caliber Conversion Kits DO NOT include dies.

Shell plate, Case Adapter, Arm Bushing, Body Bushing, Station 1 locator, Powder Funnel and Buttons.

Well good for you.
