Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I just got my 650 up and running (thank you again Dillon and Brian Enos!!) and realized that using a wrench of any type on the powder measure was more a hassle than I had realized. I read about the trick for fashioning knobs from wood, but I really haven't the time to dink around and wanted something NOW. Why not just use a 7/16" socket. I don't know about you, but I have several different tool sets (Craftsman, Snap On and even some Asian junk) including the sockets, so coming up with a spare was no problem. If you don't wish to dedicate your 7/16" U.S. standard, use an 11 mm metric socket in it's place. Much easier to turn that bolt head and it doesn't clutter up your work area. I like the feel too. BTW, thanks to ALL the GREAT contributors here for all the OUTSTANDING tips and tricks. Many have helped to make my introduction to my 650 much easier. Take care all...............Rauls
  2. Thank you guys/gals for the great replies. Thanks to Duane also for forwarding this post to Dillon. I have sent a "THANK YOU" to Mike Dillon just to let him know he has one of the finest companies that can still call itself "American. Maybe if WE all flood the Dillon mailbox to let them know just how much they are appreciated. Compliments go a long ways and though I am sure Mike Dillon knows what he has; a simple thank you can go a long ways. Just a thought. Thanks again everyone.
  3. This being my first post here, I would like to say "howdy" to everyone. The primary reason for this post is to extend a HUGE THANK YOU to Dillon for making my bad situation become one I am still having a hard time fathoming. To make a long story short; I bought a 650 on fleabay shortly before Christmas. Not much of a description, no pictures (which should have been my first clue) and the guy seemed like a nice enough chap. I won't say how much I got hosed but I will admit that I over paid for the machine by several hundred dollars considering what I actually received. Once I opened the press, I realized just how badly I was hosed. The press was stripped down bare-bones missing virtually every part you could scavenge and still call it a press! After sending several email to the seller (all ignored) and contacting fleabay, I realized it was going nowhere. I called Dillon and figured I would send the press in and have them work their magic; I would have to live with the bill and my stupid decision to bid and win the thing. I got the RA (thanks Gary) and sent it back to Dillon three weeks ago to the date (yesterday) and was truly amazed at what they did. The press came back virtually new with every part replaced to include a conversion kit for .40/10mm even including a primer warning system. I can't thank Dillon, B Lawson and anyone who had a hand on this repair. The most amazing thing was the fact they didn't charge me a dime for the repair or the return shipping. I can't stress enough my sincere thanks and the fact that y'all have acquired a new, very devout Dillon customer. In the economic climate we live in today; to have such an AMERICAN based company dedicated to customer satisfaction above and beyond the call is almost beyond belief. I honestly am still stunned at this outcome. Thank you again DILLON! You folks ROCK! Sincerest regards, Steve Raulston
