Well, its taken me a bit to get over this, but thought I'd share a misfortunate incident which befell me while reloading this past weekend.

I went to flip my 2012 Dillon calendar from July to August and found that August / September is missing from the particular calendar I have :sad:



... and "NO" the pages aren't stuck together!

Anyway... without a reliable calendar in the reloading room, how will I ever know what the correct date is when filling out my reloading log book? ;)

Guess I can't do any reloading until October? :groner:

Just use the Pirelli calendar in the meantime, that is if you can afford one.

Back in the 80's, I had a set of Pirelli's on my second Saab (99), they improved handling notablity !
I never got the calendar :cry:

The question is, "was it there before"? Anyone have a photo of that missing page so we all can hunt it down?

Hmm, now I understand the cult-like devotion people have for Dillon.

Does the Dillon "no BS" warranty apply to their calendars?

My X-10 security camera covering my reloading room focuses directly on my Dillon calendar. You can't be too careful!!!!!

Wait a minute, something is definitely amiss here!

Every True "Blue" Dillion Head I know thoroughly goes through and starts inspection all new equipment before the styrofoam peanuts and air pillows have time to hit the ground as the new equipment is being pulled from the box.

So you are trying to convince us that you never looked at "ALL" of the pages before affixing to your wall?

Don't buy it, nope, not at all.

Someone took it!

I think someone who has the calendar needs to post a picture of the missing month so that we can be on the lookout for it!

:oops:


Okay, I'll admit it.

I DID look at all the photos on the 2012 calendar when it came it.

BUT I bought 2! ... gave one away to a fellow reloader / shooter / co-worker last Christmas and kept the other for myslef.

I must have looked at the one I gifted and missed the missing months in the one chance happed I kept.

:sad:

OK, follow this carefully...
Move your curser down in the lower right corner over the clock....
There is your date.

OK, carry on. :kidding:

:coffeecomAnd if the computer is not with your reloading bench you can always print one off the net, maybe even from Dillon to replace the ones you "lost"
