Ready to go Blue

[MbPb]

Does anyone know if Dillion has a dealer e.g. Midway usa? I have looked on all of the sites I'm familiar with..Midway, Cheaper Than Dirt and Able Ammo as well as doing a google search. So far I haven't found anything.

My hope was to find a dealer and find the product a little cheaper than purchasing directly from the Dillion site. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try http://www.brianenos.com/store/dillon.html

He has a free shipping deal if you order over $400, I believe.

If you call up Brian Enos, he'll ask what you are looking to do and figure out the best package for you.

Last 2 posters told you everything you need to know. Great guy to do business with.

Grafs also stocks dillon equipment, since i live near Grafs store i normally go there, their prices are very good and they have most things in-stock

+1 for Brian Enos online site, he'll assist you

with the best setup for your budget or style.

If you're dong $400 of business, his shipping is FREE.

Great info on his site about shooting too.

Brian is THE MAN.

We also have a Vendor Sponsor here on the Forum that sells Dillon equip cheaper than the other places.

I have bought from him several times.

Thanks for the great info.

[shotman]

you be sorry they are not what they say. I would sell my 650 but would have to take a BIG loss

[Moonman]

shotman,

Please explain your remark that you'll be sorry, they're not what they say.

Explain your BIG LOSS if sold, many Dillon's sell for 80/90% of cost and sell quickly.

+1. I haven't met a person who was sorry yet for buying a Dillon. They were just mad they waited too long. They hold value very well.

Buy the Dillon and never look back. Support is amazing, you can find deals on conversions, and there are a few aftermarket parts available.

Talk to Parrot here. WHenever I have bugged him his quoted prices were very reasonable.

I bought a referb 550b from Dukeinmaine and in no time filled a 30 cal. ammo box with .380! The only time I had to stop was to fill the primer tube and powder! I LOVE this thing!

I currently have a Lee Loadmaster. I put a 100,000+ rounds through it. It was an great press fot the money. I have researched the Dillon and have heard nothing but good things until now. Shotman maybe you should call Dillon, there could be a defect and they do have a "No BS" warranty, they may make it right with you.

My opinion, not every one that owns a Dillon loves them, because I don't. Ok for the money, and great customer service.

As long as my 550 is set up for one type of pistol, it works well, after you get it setup.

That's all I do now, one 550 is set up for pistol, one for 6.8 SPC...

Changing primer size is frustrating at best, and when it mal-functions it's never easy....this needs to be addressed/ fixed.

Changing powder charges is not as bad but it's not great. Some products on the market to improve the problems, and help to stop powder from falling all over the press.

It becomes a much better press with some aftermarket upgrades, tools, extra heads/ powder systems.

Small rifle is fine, again, as long as you don't change it....

Large rifle can be done, but I would rather use a single stage, and would much rather use one of my Hollywood Turrets, and do.

Again, just my opinion, and I don't have a Hornady, or Ponsness Warren to compare, but I'm thinking of buying a Hornady...

P.S. I did have 3 Dillon 550's traded one off, and may get rid of the other two....

Let me know when you want to sell one of them. I need a third!

[LUBEDUDE]

I think ***** made me realize something. Yeah I am very pleased with my 1050's and 550's. But I sure am NOT going to change out the 1050's. What a PIA! Now the 550 is a breeze. But ***** is right, that is when problems arise. You have to tweak this, adjust that, stand on your left foot just so. But when you DO get it dialed in - Life is fantastic! I don't plan on changing out my 550 anymore, that is why I have a dozen or so more presses to go to. But the option is there.

And where others have mentioned.

My 650 is a dream to run.

Hi,
Well...the 550B was suppose to be built to be able to change calibers easy(removable die plates,ect.) I sold mine and have never missed it! Mine was always "funny" with the primer feed. Had to keep it spotless or problems.

Admittedly just bought 2 RL 300's, hoping for better overall build quality as Mike Dillon said he lost $100 on every one of these? Looks stout anyway! Best thing to do is buy a 550 and try it! Only way to know,some guys say it does everything but make eggs in the morning!!!

Changing primer size is frustrating at best, and when it mal-functions it's never easy....this needs to be addressed/ fixed.

Changing primer size on the 550 is pretty simple. Replace the primer slide by removing two bolts and then swap out the primer tube. It takes all of 3 minutes. There isn't much to malfunction. The operation is very simple. Most mistakes can probably be traced to not having the primer tube fully seated.

Changing the primer assembly on the 650 is a little more involved, but still takes less than 10 minutes.

Wow. Maybe I just got lucky with my Dillon.
