Got my Dillon back today

[BadOscar]

Once again i'm happy with Dillon. The threads that hold my tool head on got buggerd up so I sent it back for warranty repair. While I was waiting I picked up another a friend was selling. So now I got two and I won't need to switch the setup anymore to load for my daughter.

Cool beans, nice set up.

Good deal, Boss

I'm IN!!!! Oh wait.... this isn't a karma .... is it.

Jealous though. I like my Lee 4 hole turret, and every time I think about taking the Blue plunge, I find that I'm set in my ways and stay in "batch mode."

NICE!! Love my 650! they are great people down there in AZ. When I was setting mine up I broke a roll pin, tried to buy a new one and they would have nothing with it they sent me a new one with a few goodies all on their dime, after I messed up.

Nice setup!

Not familiar with identifying Dillon presses on site, are those SDB, 550, or 650?

Me too. I keep debating jumping to a progressive, but the cost of caliber changes on a Dillon make me cringe. I'vr grown accustomed to $9.99 for a new turret disk + new set of dies.

May give a Load Master a try.

Nice Alex, now get off your butt and get to reloading,

Those are both SDB's and they will only load for straight wall pistol. I got my first one off ebay cheap. Dillon has replaced it for me 3 times so far. I broke the frames on the last 2. After the 2nd frame broke I started to do full length resizes of my 38 super on a rock chucker single stage. I think resizing the hot race gun 38 super brass was hard on it. Plus the proprietary dies they use do not do a full length resize so you run the risk of a jam from a bulged piece of brass if your not case checking. As much as I load I should probably get a 650. It's on my list of wants but they have a bigger price tag.

Nice Alex, I don't reload but from what I hear from those that do, Dillon ranks as over of the best brands and possibly the best customer service of any product.

Sorry to bring back such an old thread, forgive me as I'm a newbie on this forum. Hope it isn't too old.

Anyways, wanted to chime in that my experience with Dillon has been excellent as well. I bought mine second hand and have had two different items sent to me on their dime-no issues, no questions asked. I didn't even recall asking that they replace it. I just called in stating what problem I was having. They confirmed my address and sent it to me. I had it in two days!!!

Dillon is excellent!

I'm also a newbie to reloading. Probably asking a few questions here.

Currently using a XL650 to load 45 ACP. Loading at 5.0 grains of Bullseye with X-Treme 230 grain FMJ. It's a pretty stout load, so I will probably back on on that.

Happy shooting and be safe!
