Dillon BL550 basic question

For the BL550 press, it does not come with shell plate, correct? Just confirming as they didn't mention this in the "at minimum you need these things also" list.

Which means, I need to get a shell plate or a conversion kit. The kit includes the (metal) powder and the pins. Do I absolutely need those as it mentions that this powder funnel is to "activate the automatic powder dispenser", and I am manually measuring and pouring the powder in. Perhaps I need this so the powder doesn't pour everywhere and out the case? For the pins, I watched a couple guys on YT and they didn't had any pins attached to the plate.

Looking for loading 6mm Dasher with either as a single stage or manually index the press. That's the only caliber I am loading ATM.


Thank you everyone

Accessories Garmin Xero mounts and Pelican case inserts for the Xero

Eli, My 12-year-old, is making some cool new mounts for the Garmin Xero. He is also making some cool inserts that fit a Pelican 1040 case.

The rifle mount allows you to attach your Xero to any rifle with an arca-swiss or a Picatinny rail. The mount also allows you to slide the Garmin out to the side to clear baker wings or weights. The mount can also be mounted to an arca-swiss tripod head, allowing you to switch between rifles and/or shooters easily.

The 4-way arca mount is designed for the Xero to be easily mounted to an arca-swiss head tripod no matter what direction you want to keep your head.

Keep your kit safe with one of his custom Pelican 1040 case inserts. Made out of thermoplastic polyurethane, the insert provides a snug fit of your Xero with the right amount of softness to protect the finish on it. The inserts are designed for the four way arca attachment or the rifle mount.

Match style preban 223 Wylde 20" white oak armament that I picked up on Black Friday for a song.

I have a mars-L lower and some spare parts that would look pretty 69 shades of fde.

Or I could take my 16 inch Larue barrel out of my current PRS setup and install this one.

What say the hide?

Which White Oak Upper

Have done my research and it has come down to either:
-20" Varmint upper 1:8 Twist
-20" SPR upper 1:8 Twist

Going with the MLOK handguard and will be threaded but can't decide between the Varmint or the SPR. Will be used as a bench gun from 100-600 yards shooting factory ammo (between 55-77grain to see what it likes) and ARCA mounted on a tripod for coyotes. Thoughts?

Boar's Head...or is that a Cockroach Head?


Some good comments about how did the USDA let this go on for so long. There is supposed to be an inspection at each shift. So this wasn't the recent listeria issue; over 6 years!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm wondering what Publix is doing now? Shitting their pants (pun not intended)? Looks like Dietz and Watson will be the new "go-to" for me.

Cole-Tac.. I've got to give these folks credit

Just wanted to share a positive experience (or I should say yet another positive experience) here on the Hide with ordering from Cole-Tac & their products.

I'm really digging their operation. One of the 'neat' touches is each product that you get is personally signed by which employee made said product, I like that. I just received another order from them tonight and I think it's pretty dang cool that you can see who made the actual product you're holding.

Made in the USA (one of the things they're very proud of & should be) as well.

Anywho- just wanted to give some positive vibes to Cole-Tac.

SOLD 42mm Panerai 682 Submersible

Up for sale is my Panerai 682 in excellent condition. The Panerai 682, IMO was the last of the true 42mm submersibles, housing the Panerai in-house P.9010 movement with the incredibly practical "jump hour" function, that with which, combined with Panerai's crown system, makes for incredibly quick and simple time zone changes. Panerai later discontinued this wonderful movement, and its jump hour function in subsequent iterations of the 973 and 2973, much to the chagrin of Panerai enthusiasts. This change made the 973s and 2973s less desirable than the original 682.

This movement, along with the full stainless bezel that reminds me of an antique deep-sea helmet are what drew me to this timepiece originally. Comes with everything you see here and the factory rubber strap is in excellent condition. The bezel is tight, with great feel and clicks and Panerai's patented strap change system on the 682 make strap changes as simple as pressing a button on the case. There is quite a lot of technology built into this very wearable Panerai. Watch is in great shape with no significant marks to speak of. As expected from an all brushed/polished steel watch and bezel, light swirls/scratching can be visible at the right lighting and angles. I have tried to capture those in bezel photos near 12 and 4 o'clock. The blue and the orange Horus straps are not included, but are just show to display the 682's versatility.

Asking $6450 Shipped in CONUS.

60 Boston Restaurant Workers Quit After IRS Flags False Tax Data

This has been going on for decades! Like the employer didn't know they were illegal aliens.....


Nearly 60 workers of a Boston-area bakery and restaurant chain have quit their job after the IRS flagged their tax filings as possibly fraudulent.

The Tatte chain said that the employees left their jobs after the IRS contacted them about “discrepancies” in the employee paperwork that showed names, social security numbers, and home addresses not matching to the agency’s records. The discrepancies are often seen when migrants use fake social security numbers or steal the identities of Americans in order to get work in the U.S.

The Boston Globe followed up by interviewing some of those who quit the restaurant chain and found that many were illegal migrants.

Tatte told the employees flagged by the IRS that they would have several days to provide proper identification and tax information, and if they did not, Tatte “will consider you to have voluntarily resigned from your position.”

Company spokesperson Diana Pisciotta said Tatte “cares deeply about its team members and provides multiple opportunities for our team to correct data that the government has informed us is incorrect.”

“It is particularly disheartening to inform valued, hard-working members of our team that by law they cannot remain with Tatte if they cannot correct the issue,” Pisciotta added. “While supporting our employees is a priority, we must comply with the law.”

To avoid accusations of “racism,” Tatte even offered to pay for immigration lawyers for the employees who quit over the IRS fraud alert, and offered a fund of $4,000 to help them pay expenses.

Still, Tatte’s move to discharge employees who have received IRS “Social Security no-match” letters is unusual because until now, most employers simply ignore the no-match notices and continue employing the problematic employees. Tatte’s decision to heed the letters and dismiss the employees could signal that business are starting to take the IRS notices more seriously as Donald Trump prepares to take office in Washington.
