Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I have not ran into many parts I could not find at the moment. I bought my 7 in 2021 from a defunct commercial loader who moth balled them in the late 1980 early 1990s.... they were abused from ignorance i.e Channel locks marks, dies set screw not undone and ruined tool head threads, column threads obliterated, steel tip set screws used instead of brass, list just goes on. I am a tool maker by trade and I was able to retread the columns and tool heads and remove all the broken bolts and re store the machines. Despite looking terrible they are actually low on mileage and are still amazing machines. I have all original receipts and records and correspondence with Mike Dillon himself. The parts are not difficult to make, there are however minor differences in the machine that makes making parts difficult in any quantity. My earliest serial is in the 300s and my latest is 1000 something. The primer slide thicknesses changed and primer punch sized have changed. I don't know what else may have changed as this is what I had to deal with when I was making parts for the press in the beginning.
  2. Hi, I am new to the forum and my handle would indicate I am an afficnoto of Dillon Rl1000 reloading presses. I own 7 machines and find them to be well built and trouble free in usage once properly cleaned and lubed and adjusted for the caliber. One thing I have noticed is a lack of parts, Dillon has a limited selection and no one seems to make them. Are there any other Rl1000 owners and users out there? If so what are your opinions and stories?
