Dillon Order Wait Support Group Thread

Gotcha, what parts should I order?

i have no clue... a buddy of mine always brake a little piece that has to have special little pins pressed into it... its not a fun task... plus if i remember correctly its about a 20$ fix each time....

this happens on the 223 machine the most... what caliber will you be loading for?

[Bro KV]

9mm and 223

9mm and 223

Did you order the 900 rpm or 1200?

You shouldn't have any problems with 9mm...

If you plan to completely load 223 at once... Without processing separately... Good luck getting anything accurate out of it...

I ordered the 900rpm motor to do both pistol and rifle. Bought a rapid case trimmer to mount to the 1050 and with the swagger there really shouldn't be a problem.

Ok thats good! As long as you process seperatly and just run 100% clean processed brass threw it on the loading tool head you should be good. As long as your using a good ball powder that meters well and consistant youwill make great ammo you almost will want to load by hand. That way when you feel how smooth everything is running you will know you are making some quality stuff!

My .40 carbide dies ordered may 15 just shipped! Can't wait to try 'em out.

I ordered my Dillon 550b 15 years ago. Oh, I'm not waiting for it, I'm just saying I ordered it 15 years ago..

And after 15 years, I'm guessing I could sell it for what I bought it for.


Seriously, like they say, "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is today"

Just placed my order yesterday for almost the same set up as milw50717, can't wait to get her. Working on figuring out what components are available so I can come up with a recipe for my first loads. Looks like the wait time is about a month, not too bad.
