floater Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Who has the best pricing for dillon presses. A friend got bit by the USPSA bug and is looking to get into a new dillon. I bought my 1050 from Brian years ago, he made it so easy, and the price was the best I found. How is Krackenpop been to deal with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewski Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Their prices were no better than anywhere else and they were way late shipping a part w/o telling me about the delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatland Shooter Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 The folks at Dillon are great. I agree, just order from Dillon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I would suggest posting a WTB ad and getting one at a slight discount that way. I got my first 550 new. Bought my 650, 2nd 550 and 1050 used. Same Dillon quality and support with all 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camaross400 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I ordered from Dillon. The site is easy, and I received my press by the end of the week.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camaross400 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 However, I am interested in this thread. I am looking for toolheads and conversion kits at a discounted price so I can begin loading large primer stuff on my 1050 instead of my second press (lnl).Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to use them as BE recommended them after closing up his Dillon sales, but mainly use Dillon or Graf's or Extreme Reloading. I'll check out Bobcat as well.

Edge40 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Dillon prices are pretty much consistent across the board. Best you will find is shipping deals or credits on their site but its like a weber grill doesn't matter where you get it as far as the price goes. Kracken pop is almost exactly the same price as dillon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate89 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I ordered my 650 from Brian a bit over 2 years ago. Now my go to for Dillon stuff is right from Dillon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJinPA Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I was going to order from kracken pop until I realized the exact same order was about $15 cheaper direct from Dillon. I think the difference was in the shipping fees. Was also annoyed that kracken advertised free shipping on presses BUT only if you're buying just a press. When you decide to spend more money for a package deal (weekend warrior ) they charge shipping on the whole package. Seemed a little backwards to me.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had luck purchasing tool heads from that auction site. Conversion kits I get directly from Dillon. If you have a few calibers already, it may make sense to use the Dillon spreadsheet that shows you the specific part numbers for each conversion. You may find that you don't need all of the parts in a specific conversion kit, just buy those specific part numbers you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kracken pop is almost exactly the same price as dillon. True. Pretty sure Dillon requires set pricing. One of the biggest rip off gun stores around here sells Dillon stuff at the same exact price as Dillon does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
