Jeepmanjk14 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Hey all, I got a great deal on eBay a few days ago, a fellow had all his dads reloading equipment listed after he passed. All for a 150.00 I had to drive 2 1/2 hours with Biden's gas prices but still came out way ahead and then some. Problem is I have never had a Dillon all of my reloading was mainly done on a rcbs single stage press. So I brought home a new rcbs powder scale(beam),2 lee progressive presses,Dillon press,Lyman turret press,rcbs rc2, 2 tumblers one was new had to put it together,Lyman powder measurer,2 shooting vices,Lyman universal case trimmer new, and a bunch of case loading blocks. WHAT A DEAL. Great guy also and his dad was a veteran with a Purple Heart and some more medals I cant remember the names but I’m sure was a truly great American. And thanks to your service all past present and future military personnel! Now can anyone tell me what model I have and possibly the year? Also I know I need the powder tube and cap. The top blue bracket? Is cracked and I would like to order a new one if possible,and a blue forked type bracket on the bottom of the press hanging farthest down is kind of twisted and seen its better day AND any other parts you all think I would need to get her running and upkeep? Like spare parts that are prone to breaking. Thanks All Reloaders Jeepmanjk14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 It’s definitely a square deal press. Don’t know the year. Call Dillon and tell them what you need and they might just send it to you free of charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimase Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) It's a square deal press, so only pistol calibers. The powder measure is an older design with the dual springs, some people actually prefer this setup. If you came out ahead it would certainly be worth giving Dillon a call to see if they would refurbish the press for you, they usually can do it very a very reasonable cost.

Jeepmanjk14 Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 Is the square deal “B” the same as the square deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modoc Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I think that the “B” has had some modifications/upgrades through the years. When I found my second 550 in a pawn shop, I sent it back to Dillon and they went through it completely. Well worth the money and time. BTW that 550 is still going strong.

Jeepmanjk14 Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 I have a email in to Dillon and going to find out the cost first but im probably going to send it in an let them work their magic on it. Thanks for all the help guys I’m sure I’ll be a lurker on here for some time and possibly pick your brains from time to time.
