    THAT is a brilliant idea!
    Thank you, when Dillon came out with the 550 I called and asked them if they would do it for all the 300 - they didn't want to do it

    - said my RL300 belonged in a museum

    - made me feel my reloading room had class

    I guess if it were mine id leave it alone and keep it as is for the cool factor.

    If you use it, it's function over coolness - it was my first progressive, and I still use it. I'd like to be able to change dies faster - that is one of the things I really like about my Lee turret.

    Did you try their regular commercial number? I was in the other day and they answered it. I thing the 800 number is too easy to ignore. At least the same pins work on all the Dillons.

    PS: they only made about 1000 of them according to Mike D's. article on their website. He said they lost about $100 on each one. I own three so I had the original Dillon 900 on my bench.
    The best gun for self defense? Any loaded one will do.
