Capt. James H. Callahan Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Back when I was shooting IPSC the Dillons had just come out, and the early ones had a bad habit of not dropping a powder charge. The boys using them usually carried a shotgun rod cut down to about 6" to knock out the squib bullets. Called 'em Dillon Fix It Tool. JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
