Dillon Order Wait Support Group Thread

Cranked out 1000 on my 650 yesterday...Took about 45 minutes, I was working slowly!

I am wondering if I will ever see Small Pistol Primers here in NY again!!

For the guys that are receiving whole or partial orders, what was the order date? I'm trying to figure out how long of a wait I have ahead of me.

I ordered my 550b on 1/12. My digital scale showed up right away and the reloader yesterday.

I had a small part break on my 650. I've been trying to get in touch with them since friday! I get busy signals on both 800 lines. When I do get the automated answer, it tells me to wait for the next available salesman. I give up after waiting for 30 mins. each time. Getting alittle frustrated.

The part that broke was my fault and I did buy the extra pieces kit, which I recommend everyone should have. I am still on line with the machine, but I would like to get that part as a back up in the mail from Dillon. Their no bs guarantee works great. Trust me, I've broken some things on my 650....All my fault too. They just send me the part in question. I like it. Now, if I could only get someone from Dillon to answer my damn call!!

whoops. double post.

Ordered a XL650 + casefeeder + a lot of other goodies through Grafs. Saved a bunch with Dealer pricing, but who knows when it will show.

People buying direct or from Enos seem to be getting their stuff in roughly 3-4 weeks.

Did the exact same maneuver here... got box #1 today with casefeeder and goodies... its been exactly 1 month since I ordered.

Talked to Dillon at SHOT show in Vegas... they said they had a truck leaving from their place towards Grafs once a week... and that they were 2 weeks behind. Take that for what it's worth.

Still waiting on my .223 dies and super swager. I placed my order in with Brian on 12/24.

Yeah, I can sympathize... I ordered a Super 1050 set up for .223, with an extra toolhead, the RT1200B and the RF 1000 and am in the same boat.

Of course, as mentioned since components are a challenge to locate it makes the wait a little more tolerable.

Hope we all get our orders fulfilled soon!

Sucks... $2600+ worth of press and accessories on order since 1/8, and no packages to show for it.

Brian thought they would process the 1050 faster than the lower-end presses, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

(im)patiently waiting...

I ordered my stuff on 1/4. I recieved a partial order on 1/11 (RT1200,Super Swager and misc stuff). My credit card was charged on 1/31 for the rest of my stuff (650 Case feeder, Case feeder plates, 223 and 308 Dies and 650 tools). I also received an email with shipper tracking. My back ordered items are due to arive on 1/5.

My back ordered stuff came in yesterday. The 223 and 308 dies still back ordered. I called dillon, they said 6 to 8 weeks

Well, I stand corrected again.just been informed i have atwo packages from Dillon, one xl650 and one smaller package that im assuming is my SS600 and dies. I ordered from Dillon directly around 12/28

I am no longer part of the Dillon Order Wait Support Group. This is my post showing my new setup: http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...d.php?t=696472

I ordered from Brian on 1/11 and I received my 2 boxes on 2/1. Everything came at once.

I wonder why they would process orders the way they do? If you ordered a whole 13 days before I did, why did I get mine so fast?

Wait times are now 6-8 weeks!

You sure that's not an exaggeration? I loaded 70 in 10 minutes, going slowly (first time using Dillon). I will definitely get faster, but that seems out of the normal range for a 650. The only way I could see this happening is if you have a Mr Bullet Feeder with a Hornady die and all the primer tubes full so the entire process is automated and ready.....

No offense..

My 1050 showed up in less then two weeks. In order to get it that fast I had to change the press from 223 to 9mm. They where very backlogged on anything for 223.
Number of back-ordered:
1050's in 9mm = 2
1050's in 223 = 150+

Good to know that Grafs gets shipments every week.

I was even lucky enough to find some Dillon die sets at Turners the other day. Their reloading equipment does not seem to be marked up. they had 2x Dillon Square Deal kits in 45acp for $379.99. I believe my die set was $63.

That's pushing it, but not impossible. If you have a loaded case feeder, bullet feeder and primer tubes. One pull of the handle every 2.7 secs not including the time it takes to refill the primer tubes though.

Definitely not a leisurely pace though.

My fastest with my old LNL AP with bullet feeder, but no case feeder was 100 rounds in 7 minutes. That was a pretty fast pace and not having to reload any tubes. 4.2 secs per loaded round.

Box #3 will be here Sat. at 23lbs, should be the press

[DRAB_81]

Just in case anyone is tired of waiting for Dillon Steel .223 dies, there's a set on eBay ending in 18 hours. Only 24 bids so far...
