Slalom45 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I've been reloading for less than a year on a 650. Broke the shell plate return spring last night. I purchased the spare parts kit when I bought the press, but want to replace the spring now that I don't have a spare. Did a web search for it and nothing popped up. Is there a place on line where I can order small parts like this or what is the norm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m700 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I believe they call it index return spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubfromGA Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 My thought process when I recently bought my xl650 was to add the parts kit to my order. This way I'd have the normal stuff to keep the press running if any of the usual suspects wore out. My plan was to call Dillon and let them know and have the part used from this kit sent in for replacement. This way I'm never out of commission. That's the plan, anyway. We'll see how it works out when I finally get my stuff set up. Work schedule has been crazy....able to pick up additional 12 hr shifts on my days off and am taking advantage of it while I can.

Tell them what you broke and one or two will show up free. Dillon isn’t like other companies. In the best way.

BrianATL Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I found it a little off putting when Dillon would not send me a replacement for a broken shell plate unless I sent them my broken one first. Had always had no questions asked service from them before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillon probably wanted to see if the plates were broken "up"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thing the guy on the phone asked was if I was using a swager. I only run 9mm/.40 on my 650 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m700 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Ive been loading on dillon for a long time and have been waiting for the chance to call for replacement parts. I havent opened the spare parts bag yet on my 550 or 650 so havent had the chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelCityShooter Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I also bought the spare parts kit with my 650. I've used a couple of the parts as they wore out after reloading 10's of thousands of 9 mm and .38 Sp rounds and Dillon has always replaced the parts at no cost. The parts kit keeps me in business and Dillon restocks it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
