They are my component vendor of choice as well.

I've purchased from Wideners many times over the past couple years, never any problem at all. They ship quickly, their prices are usually very competitive, they answer their phones and email. What more could you ask for?

Here in Florida we do that all year long. A hint for women though, don't wear a loose low cut top. I swear every trip to the range you see woman doing the hot brass dance.

$2.22 at the local station here today, which means I can probably find it about .10 cents cheaper up the road. Diesel was $2.92, time to fill up the tractor again!

I thought that was a deal they had made only with me

I'm a fan of C Products mags as well. Though I've heard some people knock them, I've never had a problem with them at all.

True, I sold my SDB for about 85% of current cost, which was much more than I paid for it years ago. It helped finance the cost of my 650.

But that wouldn't be a solution for the OP as he is loading on a Square Deal. The Dillon 9x19 dies should work in the SDB.

I must be very lucky. Have reloaded for about 25 years and have yet to have a primer detonate on me. I've had a few go in sideways very crushed but they didn't go off either. Absolutely I wear eye protection, but have never felt the need to hearing protection when I'm cranking on the Dillon.

I sold my SDB when I bought my 650. The 650 is awesome, awesome, awesome. I used a friends 550 years ago. I think the 650 even without the case feeder would be an improvement, don't forget you also get another spot in the toolhead to add a die. In my case I use a RCBS lock-out die.

I used Fed's for years with no problem, then switched over to Winchester when I had trouble getting the Fed's. I use Wolf now. Only ones I've ever had trouble with was CCI.

I thought Unique was the dirtiest thing you could do to a .45

I've had my G21 since the early 90's. It is without a doubt the smoothest shooting, naturally pointing .45 I've ever had. And I've had more than a few. I can shoot it very well, the G21 makes me look like some sort of pistol shooting expert.

Exactly. Have done close to 1K an hour on 10MM when the stars lined up right and had lots of primer tubes filled

My Dillon digital scale died and I haven't sent it back to them yet with $85 for replacement. However I did pickup a cheapo digital off of Ebay for about $20 or so from vendor Digiweigh-Scales. It is very accurate and repeatable. I'll still get the Dillon replaced though

I've had a CV-2000 since the mid 1980's. I can't even begin to guess how many hundreds of thousands of empty brass it has cleaned for me. I've probably paid more for new media over the years than I paid for this tumbler to begin with. If it dies today (but I'd prefer it didn't) I'd have no complaint. It is a solid machine.

I've had a set for about a year now, and wouldn't go back to sorting without them

I'll confess to that. I've been shooting lead out of my G21 and G22 since the mid to late 90's. I run a Lewis lead remover through them once in a while if I see any buildup. I know a lot of people claim you shouldn't, but I've never had a very big leading problem in my Glocks. Of course I don't get the case bulge that some speak about either. Not saying it doesn't exist, just that it has never been an issue with my Glocks.

I have the large Dillon, CV-2000 I believe, the predecessor to the current CV-2001. I can't even begin to guess how many 100K pieces of brass have been cleaned in it over the past 20+ years. I did about 5-6K just last week. Like most Dillon stuff, it just works.

Brian, I see some people advise the use of powdered graphite on the primer slide and others (you also) advise to leave it dry. Currently I leave the slide dry and just try to keep it clean, have you tried graphite before? Thanks I never used graphite (or anything). And those tips are from Gary at Dillon (who posts here as Dillon) and is the absolute Dillon troubleshooting MOTU (Master of the Universe). Point taken. Thanks.

I have 3 laying around, 1 of them still in the Dillon packaging. May be time to hit Ebay or Gunbroker with them

Thanks for the replies, I've ordered the Lee 4 die sets with the FC die, I'll see how those work for me. Todd

Ok guys, long time Dillon user here, I bleed Dillon blue when it comes to reloading. Have been reloading on a Square Deal since about 1986 or so, but yesterday I picked up a gently used XL650. It came with some calibers that I need, (9MM .38/.357) and some that I don't need (.38 Super, .308 Winchester). Since with the Square Deal I've always used Dillon Dies I now find myself at the point where I need to buy some and have a choice. I need .40/10MM and .45ACP. I shoot mainly Glocks, but have never noticed the case bulge that some talk about. So do I just buy the Dillon carbide pistol dies, or are there others I should consider? Thanks, Todd
