    Brownells customer service

    in What I Like

    Posted · Edited by Ray S

    I had been dealing with a manufacture over an out of spec spring for over a month. Had to break out tha calipers and measure it. I guess it not fitting in 4 different mainspring housings was enough. Well finally got tired of messing with them and called brownells this morning. Less than 2 minutes on the phone and I have a new one on the way.

    Thanks Brownells.

    Powder measure issue

    in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment

    I setup my new press and all seemed well, but when it sets unused for any amount of time the first charge is off. I was loading 4.3 grains but when it sat it would throw 4.7-4.8 grains. After you cycle it the first time it would be back to 4.3. This is not my first Dillon and I didn't have this problem with my last one.

    Any suggestions?

    Compressed Air

    I wouldn't suggest a craftsman. I got one a couple of years ago but it won't hold air when shut off. All I have to compair to this though is my larger harbor freight one. Between the two when I go back to the HF it still pretty much has the same psi as when I shut it off. The craftsman is empty and I have to fill it up again.

    I hate blatant gouging...

    There was a guy here at a gun show that wanted 750 for a 1000 case of .223, and people were considering it. Unfortunately the panic is still going strong. Hopefully, by the end of the year things will finally settle down.

    At a gun show not long ago I saw 500 rounds of wolf selling for $375 and brass cased ammo going for $1 a round. It's crazy times.

    Dillon 550 Add ons

    I just got my 550 in yesterday, and got it set up.While I was waiting I ordered a couple of add ons. Heres my take on them.

    1. The led light for the inside of press.This gives out more light than I originally thought once in place. With correct placement it shines right down in the case.

    2. Spent primer cupI replaced it with one that is basically a funnel that a hose attaches to it that drains into a bottle. This is of the two much better, it allows me to not have to worry about the cup and does a great job of catching primers.

    First Press - SDB or LCT

    I have owned both of the presses mentioned. Go square deal and don't look back. I had to deal with Lee a couple of times and the last one was when I needed a part that was literally 90 cents and they wanted to charge me 14.95 f to shop it. As far as quality and customer service it is Dillon hands down.
