    Default Dillon Progressive Reloaders

    Yes I am a Dillon fanboy and have a several thousand dollars invested in their stuff.

    You can get the same thing done on much cheaper machines.

    Most all companies have excellent customer service so Dillon does not have the market cornered there.

    However I have never heard someone say "I started with a Dillon, but it was a pain and I upgraded to a XXX brand machine."

    Other reloading machines might be cheaper and sometimes throw in free stuff when you buy them, but cry once and get a Dillon.

    I was finally able to get a 550! Now to find some time to get it assembled and bolted to the bench...

    And you're right, I've not heard of anyone going 'back' from a Dillon. Not saying that no one has, I've just never heard of it.

    Was someone complaining about you wearing your blue fanboy outfit?

    I assume I'm not the only person on this board who fantasizes about your reloading room.

    I am curious about your first press. What press did you first start reloading on?

    Did you just buy some stock in Dillon?

    I started with a 450 about 25 years ago, upgraded it all along, and have been pretty happy with it.

    No. But I bet I have made a house payment or two for Mike.

    I have 2 450s, one set-up for large primers and the other for small. Can't beat Dillon's CS, never had an issue of them supporting products no longer in their current product line.

    How many companies can say that, once they discontinue a product.

    I'll agree, you get what you pay for! I am a diehard fan of Dillon's equipment.
