Sarge Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 Seems like overkill to me unless you just have money to burn and don’t like reloading. If I were in that boat I would just buy ammo? I can load 1200 an hour comfortably on my 650 w/MBF. Also just seems like a slap in the face to Dillon. They really support our games and make great products.

HI5-O Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Was wondering why Dillon wasn’t the loader of USPSA. Dillon was always the loader of choice in the nationals surveys. Hmmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It use to be about marksmanship, gun handling skills, shooting. Now they just keep changing the rules to make everyone spend money on junk.

Mcfoto Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) Hand loading was not even on my radar until I got into USPSA. Now it is in serious contention for my next "investment." Circling on either a Lock n Load or a Square Deal. When I saw the above announcement, I sent it to my "re-loading mentor." His reaction, "well, you'll never have to upgrade!" Like any hobby, there is an industry surrounding it with the sole intent of getting as much money as they can knowing the consumer will freely spend in the name of "fun." It's capitalism in a free economy. Let the grand-kids earn their own money. Edited May 18, 2018 by Mcfoto grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want2BS8ed Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Now there are two standards. The official loader of USPSA and The loader that most people in USPSA actually useThat's pretty funny...I love the announcement itself.

Actually, it IS for the everyday loader— as in: a home-based commercial loader who loads everyday. Good for Mark 7, you can’t fault them for a smart business move, but unfortunate for Dillon who puts prizes on our tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm... Because AFAIK Dillon hasn't sponsored any matches that I've been to. The only Dillon merchandise I've seen on the prize table were donated by Dillon vendors. This type of competition will be healthy IMO, Dillon has been sitting on the top of the mountain without competition for too long. To the point it is common for people to buy a press and then buy a bunch of aftermarket fixes for things that Dillon should've fixed long ago. With competition we might see improvements.

Bayou Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I still plan on buying another Dillon but I agree there may be improvements now that should have been fixed. Competition is good for the buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Competition is good for the buyer. I agree 100% with this. What baffles me is that most of the aftermarket improvements I’ve made to my 550 and 650, mainly adding additional bearings here and there, are not cost prohibitive but are virtually essential for proper functioning, at least in my opinion. Hopefully the competition will help in this regard. Edited May 19, 2018 by jkrispies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really support our games and make great products. Maybe Dillon got the fist chance and turned it down? You could also look at it like a huge portion of Dillon customers are in the action shooting sports and so Dillon slapped USPSA for all those years and just figured where else you gonna go . Different perspectives on everything PS I like Dillon just fine Edited May 19, 2018 by RJH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
