Alright, I was at an estate auction and I ended up with a cardboard box. Full of bullet lube.

I had one like that and last week walked into Dillon and they looked at it and handed me a new one.
I also had the carbide insert pulled out of a Dillon die. handed that to them and they handed...

You can do some Loctite to hold it. When Dillon updated the powder measure, they went to a longer bolt with a locknut on the opposite side. If you look at a current drawing of the powder measure it...

Have you tried a new primer magazine tip? I have also added a 45 ACP case to the top of the primer follower rod, seems like just a little extra weight sometimes helps the primers feed better into the...

They are totally swamped right now. You will get a call back. It just might be a few hours.
Anything we could help with in the meantime? or did something break and you need a replacement?

I didn't realize this was even a thing.
So I went to youtube and watched a few videos on it. Looks like all the ones I saw, the lapping tool just fit fine into the receiver. They would just...

And the last part of that equation, the only time you would want to do it, if it truly worked, is with the drum spinning in order to distribute it throughout the mix. But if the drum still spins, it...

I've heard this as well. But in 30 years of being around heavy equipment, construction companies and mixer trucks, I have never seen any sugar anywhere.

Nowadays, once they have a broke down truck, they just accept the loss. At least the larger companies do.
Once they get the truck running again, or towed out of the basement, ;-) Then they will...

I started out with several brands of reloading equipment. But now, nearly everything is Dillon. I don't think Dillon is superior, however they stand behind their products and I don't live far from...

My dad bought me one when I graduated 8th grade. It was a great machine to use and load on. I had some crimping issues then, that would surely have been solved quickly if I had internet, but instead...

Auctions can definitely be weird, I have seen people pay way more than retail for some items.
