Dibz on everything in the room. Especially the primers and the Forester Co-Ax press.
Curiosity got the best of me. I just looked up the Co-Ax, those things over doubled in price, and I see they are out of stock at a few places I looked. I remember looking for a 2nd one circa 2013 and they were unavailable then too. I am kind of surprised that a company like Redding, RCBS, Hornady etc hasn't made a clone.

I just got a issue of The Blue Press in the mail on Saturday. It was the first one I saw in years, unless the wife has been throwing them away. I paged through it, Ouch, over $1000 for a 550 with out any "extra's" just to load 1 caliber.
It's been aver 6 years since I touched any of my reloading equipment. About once a year the wife tells me I should sell my stuff to purchase more sheep. I think I will just hold onto it in case I ever get back into shooting again.
 
It was nice enough to do a little shooting yesterday. The taurus tx22 I got for the wife for Christmas was fun to shoot. The steel framed Canicks havent arrived yet. The SFX got shot. Also shot the Italian police surplus 92 Beratta. Both nice shooters. I see MP5 clones on sale. Hmmm.
I'm getting the new tx .22 compact
When I get funding
I like my tx I keep one in my range bag for
The niece's and nephews to shoot when I visit them.
