    Dillon in BA

    Want to buy a Dillon 550 or 650 in the bay area, new only.
    Best retailer, and price avail? Appreciate your tips.

    ps Brian Enos favors the 550 models for newbies to reloading, that would be me.
    However, the features of the 650 seem better.

    Talk to Irvington Arms in Fremont. They're a Dillon dealer.
    Lord, make my hand fast and accurate.
    Let my aim be true and my hand faster
    than those who would seek to destroy me.
    Grant me victory over my foes and those who wish to do harm to me and mine.
    Let not my last thought be 'If I only had my gun."
    And Lord, if today is truly the day you call me home, let me die in an empty pile of brass.

      Dude. Buy it from BE.com and avoid sales tax. His prices are about impossible to beat.

        Irvington Arms Dillion Dealer!, Good to Know.
        BE.com, who is that?

          Will look into Irvington Arms.
          What is Be.com? Secondly, what is a good price for the 550 and 650 respectively.

              I started off on my 650 as my first rig. The 550 looks like a good press for certain calibers, but if you load for primarily handgun, the 650 is the safest since you can incorporate the low charge check station that the 550 does not have. I wouldn't discount a 650 unless you are sensitive about price.

                Call up Irvington first! Martin was tellin me how they price their stuff when I was in there this weekend but I wasn't payin attention I'm pretty sure they'll do you just as good as any other place. Plus if you ever have a problem they're right down the street to help you with it. I bought 500 bullets while I was there on Saturday and already loaded them on my 550. I need to make another trip back up to Irvington

                  eguns.com also has Dillon products. In most cases will be cheaper delivered than BE due to lower flat rate and sooner free shipping, plus our FREE STUFF promotion. If you are not buying locally, I, as a site sponsor, appreciate your business. Most Dillon products stocked including 550s and lots of conversions, plus 650s in 9, 38/357, 45acp, 223 with fast special orders on 650s in other calibers.

                  Not California based so we do not charge sales tax.

                  Have been selling Dillon products since 1996. I am happy to chat with you about your needs, answer your questions, etc.

                  thanks

                    Avoiding sales tax does not get you away from the legal requirment to pay use tax.

                    I'll second the suggestion to start with a 650 as your first progressive press.
                    Auto Indexing, casefeed and powder check are very desireable features.

                        Being that they're forum sponsors, go with Irvington or E-Guns.

                        I've got my 2 RL1050's and 1-XL650. All annually tuned by Dillon. Brian and Dillon take care of hundreds (if not thousands) of shooters, so whomever you buy it from, you're getting the best on the market w/ going Blue.

                          I ordered a bunch of random stuff for my 550 today from Dillon, and they know their stuff. I didn't have any part numbers I just said " I need a tool head for my 550, a powder funnel for 223 etc etc" and the guy converted everything into part numbers right off the bat without looking anything up. The best part was when I told him about a broken part on my machine he said "alright XXXXXX ( I don't remember the part number) no charge". Be sure and get the calendars when you order too
