Top 10 Reasons NOT to Buy a Dillon Reloading Press

[Johnny_Benson]

Jackass.... I thought you were going to save me some money... sounds like I need a Dillon!

I clicked on this from the title thinking "OH SHIT WHAT AM I IN FOR"! because I JUST BOUGHT A DILLON!

Excellent video... I agree 100%... I have owned 2 square deal presses and a 550 Dillon press as well as 2 monster caliber presses I built for loading 50 BMG and others at one time I can honestly say they are the best built presses in the world... I modified their powder dies and powder measure set up and there dead primer tube catcher... I sent the ideas to Rick and he explained they were great ideas but he could manufacture 50 pieces for the price of one of mine... One excellent feature that impressed me the most was when I had to sell my equipment, I called Rick and asked how much for rebuild kits for each press so the purchasers would have nearly new presses, Rick explained Dillon presses are guaranteed for life even to the new owners and sent me free of charge all the components to rebuild all three of my Dillon presses... It doen't get any better than that...

The service in the warranty are incredible. I’ve never dealt with another company that gave better support then Dillon.

Yeah. I've got a 550. I and my father have loaded somewhere in the neighborhood of 250k rounds. Yes...250 THOUSAND rounds through it. We loaded for a couple of the state rifle/pistol junior teams for a few years in addition to our own. We are competitive shooters so go through a lot of ammo. With the exception of a small broken operating rod which took about 5 min to fix(Dillon shipped the part for free) that's been it. Just normal cleaning/lubrication and it still works just fine. Now...we do prime the cases off the press...but other than that...it just keeps going. From .30 carbine to 30-06 and 9mm to .45ACP...it does it all. Amazing piece of engineering.

I stumble across a brand new Dillion XL750. Previous owner had it for 4 months, but he couldn't find any primer to reload 9mm, so I traded him a bunch of my car audio speakers for the XL750. It was the best trade in 2021 for me. Since it came ready for 9mm. I went and got a 45acp conversion kit and swap my 45acp dies from my Lee Turret. I've been extremely happy with the XL750. Never could I imagine reloading over 500 rounds in such a short period of time. I also went with Dillion because Dillion Precision is local to me, so if anything broken or missing. I can just walk into Dillion and buy straight from the source and not order online and wait to have it ship to me.

Awesome list. But there is one more. And it is a killer. If you enjoy spending time with your wife and not hanging out in the reloading room, then do buy a Dillon. (That is why single stages Rule!!!).

Great video. After peer pressure and constantly giving up my brass to my USPSA club "El Dorado Practical Shooters". I finally "pulled the trigger" on a XL 750 9mm/ 45 acp with auto case feeder. Keeping all my brass now. Keep up the great content.

Looking for a new press and wasn’t sure what negative things might be for the Dillon. Glad I watched this and I won’t buy a Dillon. LOL absolutely loved number six. If you like to reload rimfire ammunition, don’t buy a Dillon. Glad it’s working out for you! Thanks for the review

If you HATE making snow angels in reloaded ammo, DON'T buy a Dillon. :)

Best 2 loaders of several I own. 550 and a B
Very best customer service of any company I do business with.
Thanks Dillon !

I have been reloading since 1990 using a Lyman Turret Reloader, reason being, my wife bought it for me.Yep, it was the very first Christmas gift, and I had never before reloaded but wanted to. Long story short I just found out she has bought me a Dillon for this Christmas, can't tell yah which one because she won't tell me, all I know is I've had a few elbow surgeries and she knows after I've been loading for 3-4 hours and haven't finished three hundred rounds I'm one hurting puppy. All I do know is it's a progressive press. Now for how I found out. I trusted my powder thrower loading hand gun loads. Being lazy I decided to do a five case check, in doing so I smoke staked a few and then had a load sit in the barrel. All I can say is God is good and next round wouldn't load. Back to finding out. I had to pull 150 rounds with my kinetic puller, when I was done and she saw my face she said "don't load anymore, I have something coming in the mail next week". So I have a new reason not to buy a Dillion. If you like seeing your wife cry after hearing you need another surgery on your elbow and you don't want to disappoint her. Let her buy the Dillion. Man I'm a blessed man.

I bought a 550 over 25 years ago. The ram started wearing a little, so they sent me a new one WITH tools and equipment to check it with AT NO COST. They gave me an option to send it to them to fix, but I was able to do it myself, so it saved me down time. Am I a Dillon fanboy? You betcha. Keep your other loading gear. I’ve owned that too. I’ll pay a few bucks more for something that will last me a lifetime.

[skeeterbone]

i was just getting ready to "pull the trigger" on the purchase of a Dillon press when I found this video. So glad I was able to see this valuable information. Thank you.

[xxxnonamexxx]

You got me. I saw the title and just had to click it since I just bought the Dillon 550C....Haha Great stuff!

[T.A.B.Videos]

I was torn between the Dillon and the Hornady but economics played apart in my decision to go with the Lock and load which has lifetime warranty. Both great choices as of right now time will tell. LOL

[JJLTACTICALSOUTIONS]

I love my Dillion. I just got off the phone with them and in 5 years this is only the 2nd time I have had to call and sure as shit Dillion sent me a free replacement part. Lifetime warranty was worth every penny I spent on my Dillion 550B.

[bdh]

WOW, what a difference in looks from the current you.. Keep up the good work!

[pauls]

LOL I have to admit my hackles came up when I first read the title but after I started listening the hackles were replaced with a grin. I have a 650 and love it!!

[crazylikeafox]

Reason not to buy a Dillon? You started reloading to save money, not spend it.
