Red Rider Rudy Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Great service from these folks. Have called and received small stuff before, but sent the press back to be fixed and gone over. Received today it's new other then a couple off parts. This was a 450 with 550 upper frame that I bought off Ebay 6 years ago. Best part is all I paid was to ship it to them! I will always buy Dillon. You hear about how good they are, but when it's your stuff it makes you fell good to get such Great Service!

To the Dillon Folks THANKS Red Rider Rudy +10 Just recently had issues with my powder measure on an SDB. Called, sent it back, received brand new one. And--they included the large magnum powder bar as well and a new fail safe rod. They have always treated me well. My machine is over 25-30 years old and was bought used also.

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Not for Holy Black Load BP on mine and have done so since I bought it in 1987. OLG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 yup load BP on mine. I made an aluminum cylinder for the powder tube. And use Dillon's powder drop system. And yes Dillon is the best. Either at sending free replacement parts or talking with you on the phone to solve a problem. Ike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugler Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Never knew I wasn't supposed to load Black Powder on my 550.....I've loaded many thousands of 44-40's with no issues. I am not going to tell my Dillon that it isn't supposed to do that! Bugler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Rose, SASS #45478 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Not for Holy Black I have been loading BP in /on my Dillon, using the stock powder measure since 2008. Run it through my MEC also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mud Marine,SASS#54686 Life Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Interesting. Glad to hear it even though Dillon said not to load BP. What do you all do to make it safe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I run a dedicated ground(GND)wire from the press to a GND rod. OLG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 A ground wire might help, but I generally have my left hand on the press as it makes it easier on my back, so the potential between the press and I should be equal, hopefully eliminating any static charge. Assuming static would set off BP, which I don't believe anyway. I hear stories of primer tubes on presses blowing up, and guns blowing up, but I have still to hear of anyone setting off a BP charge on their press. Doesn't mean it can't happen, but if I wanted to be perfectly safe I wouldn't be a shooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugler Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 To the OP's original comment....yes Dillon's Customer Service NO B.S. policy is legendary! Bugler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 even though Dillon said not to load BP. What do you all do to make it safe? I load BP by using a Lyman 55 BP measure and cycle the rotor by hand every case. That removes any steel parts from the powder measure, and I'm pretty confident that it is safe for how I load. Good luck, GJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
