Falloutboy89 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 There was one guy making them on Etsy but his shop appears to be shut down due to some health-related issues. I heard the Dillon covers don't cover everything and its really tight if you have some of the accessories. Would I be better off buying the 1050 cover even though I don't own a bullet feeder? Anyone have a good contact? I guess I could use an old bedsheet. Mine is in my basement where I have a woodworking shop so I'd like to keep as much of the dust off if possible. My current situation is awkward at best... lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1911FL Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I used a plain dome grill cover I bought at Home Depot for my 550 and 650....works perfectly. It even cinches at the bottom and only $11. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Dome-Smoker-Cover-700-0106/206303986 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Currently Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I used an old pillow case with big rubber bands before I purchased the Dillon ones when I was finally able to afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-rant Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I use the Dillon 650 cover. Nothing like a big blue bag of Dillon goodness! Only problem is that it stands out and I don't really want neighbors seeing it. If you're worried about size just run it through Dillon. Their website has a chat box that has people ready to respond during work hours. They're always helpful. I was down at the shop the other day when I bought the cover and the clerk guy said the 650 cover would work with the casefeeder too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually chatted with them not long after posting this. They said it would cover most of it. Based on what they told me I feel like the Dillon 650 cover would be about the same as my 366 cover I have on it now - stopping just short of the bullet tray and not covering it. Is that what yours does? On 6/15/2019 at 3:31 PM, 1911FL said: I used a plain dome grill cover I bought at Home Depot for my 550 and 650 That grill cover seems like its worth a shot. Hah! Good find!

G-rant Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Yeah it fits just fine even over the bottom of the ram arms! A little snug but it does cover the whole thing except for some of the ultramount [emoji3] I'll get a picture of it all the way on tomorrow for you!Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helios Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Have you seen “Tailored Reloading Press Covers” on Facebook? I have no affiliation with them but they look nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look forward to seeing it. I'm using the strong mount so I assume the ultra mount is similar in height/size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no affiliation with them but they look nice. Initial impression is these look great. I had not heard about them before so thank you for sharing. I need to dig a little deeper and see what kind of material they are. Would like it to be as light as possible similar to a parachute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-rant Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Here ya go, pictures from two angles! Pardon the mess! Fits over most of it, but doesn't zip down the whole way.I have the swing out double bullet tray thing from inline and that doesn't make it under the cover. This is just the standard 650 cover with the auto casefeeder. Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verla Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I use a large black garbage bag to cover my Dillon 650 and smaller ones to cover my 12,20,28 ga MEC9000G's- this is cost effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I may have the same swing-out bullet tray holder from IF, too. I wasn't sure how it'd work with the cover until I saw your pic. One of these days I'll get my stuff setup, lol. Hoping to have a few hours this afternoon....and get a good start, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to put mine in the garage, but the ambient humidity is simply too high. It would have been a miserable affair sweating away while using equipment that was rusting. One of things I won't miss if I move away from this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verla Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I have an electric heater for the winter, which keeps the place toasty, and a large fan in the summer directed at me while loading- keeping me cool. I am fortunate for my set up in the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay1957 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I reload in the house in a large closet I was able to dedicate to reloading. To keep the machine clean my Wife made me a cover for the 650 with a .case feeder. Pretty simple if you have a sewing machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishPsych Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I bought an $11 smoker cover from Home Depot and a $7 adhesive zipper to make doorways in plastic wrap/diy spray booths, it’s at home depot too. Taped the zipper to the bbq cover, opened the zipper and cut down the middle and done, made my own cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know which I rather avoid....the heat & humidity........or the snow & ice that other parts of the country get. I should be grateful for the weather here.
