Dillon Bins

[D.Hayden]

There was a mini-thread started under "Reloading Benches" in the Gallery section..

I didn't want to Hijack that thread...

If you have a "Container Store" in your area, they make larger bins like these (the smaller one is the dillon one, dillon just put's thier name on it) - the medium one must hold 400+ 9MM - and it attaches the same way, just slide it on - I haven't had one slip or break -

Or, if you just want more of the small bins, they're 0.89 - for quick change outs

I think most Dillon customers are aware that Akrobins makes the bins. However, we support Dillon because of their contributions to the shooting sports and to the shooting community. As such, their efforts warrant my loyalty. A couple of extra pennies to support a company that supports my sports is worth it.

Rich - good point - I was really posting to put forward the "larger bin" idea.. (then my cheap side added the 2nd) - I don't know if most people are aware the bigger ones fit the same way (at least on a 550)

For those into large bins check out the ones for the SL 900, the large bin holds 500 45's and mounts on the strong mount.

I just let them drop into a 5 gallon bucket, forgoing the bins

I hope the 5 gallon bucket is right under the "exit chute" instead of down on the floor several feet below. It's not unknown for a loaded round to light off when dropping a significant distance onto other loaded rounds. No, I've never had it happen, but I believe the people who say it's happened to them.

Good point Duane about ejecting rounds from your reloader into buckets, few months ago, it was announced at one of our local matches in the northwest, making sure we all accounted for all live ammunition that may have been ejected or fallen onto the ground during the match because previously, as freak as they may sound; at one previous match somewhere, one shooter’s pistol ejected a spent cartridge landing on the ground obviously and it somehow hit a live round laying on the ground and guess what? Yep, live discharge. Odds of this occurrence, who knows. I wasn’t present during the big surprise, thank god! Never heard much else about this and hopefully not ever again. Just not safe enough at times.
