I have Dillon 650 and love it. Not made today. Buy used with die set and case feeder. Or Dillon 750. You will be happy.
BPI is a good company. They were scammed a few weeks ago and are working on the issue.

Dawn dish detergent/ and water wash air dry and use.
PVC pipecutters work just fine. Watch powders are different.

Some loads are changed from Edition to Edition, by caliber and also by powder and bullet data. I use to compare all editions when looking up new loadings.
Tried the TL version had accuracy issues the other bullet worked fine, but beware of throat size. Do the plunk test.
I have my APP for over a year now and use it for decapping pistol brass and sizing cast boolits. It works as intended.
3031 worked in all my 30-30 rifles just fine. Never even tried another powder. No need to.
Lee 102 worked fine in my Sig and Ruger LCP. Tumble lubed quick and easy to do.
RCBS bench priming tool for me. Uses regular shellholders and it works.

Triple 7 c leans with water. Using gel cleaners will not remove or neutralize Triple 7. Clean with warm water until clean dry and oil bore for storage. That should solve your situation.
Yes they are made outside the USA. They are an excellent mold. Shipping is faster than shipping in US. I have several and will upgrade to MP whenever possible.

I too have had the same problem with Lyman trimmer pilots. I ordered new pilots and fit and worked without any problems. Could be lyman fixed the issue. I always trimmed after sizing.
