hangunnr Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Re: Dillon Reloaders? I have two Dillon machines. I have a 1050 which is set up for my .45 match ammo and a 550 which is used for everything else. They are top notch machines with the best warranty in the business. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xen Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Re: Dillon Reloaders? just curious, but what did you pay for them, best i've found the 550 for is $349 and the 1050 was $1449 and $459 for the 650... which, is the same as paying full retail from Dillon directly. even the people claiming to sell them for 20% off are charging the same.

hangunnr Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Re: Dillon Reloaders? I don't remember exactly what I payed for the 550. I bought the 1050 from a friend for $750. I've had both of these for at least 12 years now. I've never had any issues with the 550 and I have no clue how many thousands of rounds have been through it over the years. I did have to rebuild the primer feed on the 1050 after about 6 years of heavy use. I would conservatively guess the 1050 has processed close to 50,000 rounds. The price may seem stiff compared to some of the machines on the market but with Dillon presses you get what you pay for. You may want to keep an eye on eBay for a press. If you can get your hands on a used one Dillon will still stand behind it 100% on all models except the 1050 series. The 1050's are considered a commercial level press which don't have a lifetime warranty. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Re: Dillon Reloaders? I agree with gunnr...my buddy has a dillon (not sure what model) but its a great loader. He contacted them about parts and they sent him more than he needed for no cost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Re: Dillon Reloaders? Another Dillon fan here. I have had my RL 650 since 1995 and it has produced many thousands of accurate shots for my guns. I load .45 ACP, .38 Spec, .223 Rem, .308 Win, and 300 Wby. I used to load .44 Mag but since I no longer have one, I changed the setup to rifle. In my Rem 700 PSS, I can average 1/2" groups for 5 different 5 shot groups when my ammo is loaded with Wilson hand dies on an arbor press. When I mass produce them in my Dillon, I can average 3/4", but I can load 100 of them in less than 20 minutes. It takes me that long to load a box of 20 with hand dies. Dillon stuff rocks! They have the best warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
