I wanted to give a follow up from my original post. I took some members advice and called vs. email. I just email a lot as I don't have loads of available time during the day when Dillon is open. But, I found the time and called. They were very helpful, very understanding, and very easy to work with. They replaced the parts that were worn, scratched, damaged, etc. with no questions asked. It truly is a no BS Warranty. Not sure why I got sure a varied response by email vs. call but i would suggest calling if you need support. They person on the phone was helpful in many ways. They were very knowledgeable about reloading in general, as well knowledge of the Dillon XL750 of course. All good on my end and thank you everyone for your input. Ashton

All, Very good advice. I've made a list of the must-have's and plan to call them this week. I'll then also buy the XL750 parts list which has lots of the things I need anyway than will have a back for the future. I appreciate the input. Ashton

Dillon users, I have a question about the Dillon No BS Warranty. I am new to reloading. I have shot competition NRA Modern Military, NRA Bench 22, and other matches at my gun club for years and have heard mention of Dillon reloading presses for many years. I can't recall hearing negative comments about a Dillon. My buddies had commented for years about the Dillon No Bull-s#!t warranty. That if something breaks, wears out, or is damaged that Dillon will replace it at no-cost thus the No BS Warranty. I was told this applies to used Dillon's as well, no matter if you're the 1st or 10th owner of a Dillon; the warranty applies. I bought a used XL750 to get started in reloading. I bought it site unseen but thinking of the warranty, I wasn't concerned. It is well used but the main guts are solid. It does need many individual parts replaced. I reached out to Dillon via email as I travel for a living thus just thought it might be the easiest way to find out how to replace the parts needed. I provided a brief recap that I had purchased an XL750 used and wanted to get them a list of the parts I needed warranty replaced and asked how they wanted me to proceed. The response I got back from Dillon was that I can send my XL750 back to Dillon and for $150 fee they will maintenance the press and fix anything that is needed. I sent another email explaining that I didn't need them to do the maintenance. I explained that I am very mechanical and have already fully disassembled, cleaned, lubed, etc. the press and simply needed the warranty items replaced so I could finishing re-assembling the press. Dillon's reply was again the same thing, that I can send the press back to Dillon and they will maintenance it for $150. Am I missing something here? Is the Dillon No BS Warranty just a bunch of BS?? Thanks, Ashton

All, Thanks much for all the discussion. So much to learn... I decided on the Redding Carbide Pro-Series 9mm dies for now. I just needed something to get started and continue down the learning curve. They were available and have already arrived!

Thank you all for your input. Lots to absorb and consider before making a decision!

I'm new to reloading. I found a good priced used Dillon XL750. I've been getting it cleaned up and ready to start pressing brass. It came with lots of components but unfortunately no dies. In looking at the Dillon site, Dillon carbide 9mm and 223 dies are backordered from 35 to 42+ weeks. I've heard Lyman might be a good option or perhaps Lee. I could use some advice on a direction.
