if anyone has any sway with Dillon, please tell em i want my damn 1100 before the country goes to hell any further! Roll Eyes their latest excuse (reason, sorry) was that they had a fire in their heat treatment parts plant, delaying heat treating parts. told em to quit lighting farts at work. they didn't deny it.

Dillons make good boat anchors. I have no use for them; I know, some like them.

That's why they make Fords + Chevys. I like my Dillon XL 650 but then I also have numerous other single-stage presses. The Dillon is my only progressive. I have a buddy who bought the Hornady Lock-N-Load + has had a lot of problems with his. So far I have had good luck with the Dillon + whenever I needed parts they were right on it no charge. I hope you get your press soon John, but like everything else in this current crisis (on many levels) anything firearms related is on back order. HMMM, Por Que?

a really good brand, with excellent marketing, and a cult-like following, and likely well deserved.

i have dillon and hornady progressives, currently, and lived through having lee progressives...

i personally prefer hornady - and the reason why? preference, not reason Smiler

I've noted a certain "testiness" with their telephone contact people. The one I tried to deal with was using a connection that cut off the first two words of each sentence he said. I couldn't understand what he was saying, tried to tell him the problem and got hung up on. I have a brand new 550C and am beginning to wonder about product support in the future.

I haven't had to use Dillon's customer service in quite some time but when I did their service has been great. If I needed a part for some reason I just called and the part was shipped free of charge.

I had a Dillon 650 and only had a few problems with it. I gave it to my Nephew when he got into reloading and he has it laying in the corner of the basement. I never had any problems getting parts from them they were always very help full.
I own a Hornady AP with a case feeder just ordered some parts for it a few weeks ago, Good service got the parts the same week. Even the parts damaged was my own fault the replaced everything under a life time warranty.

That's too bad. I bought my 650 when they 1st came out + besides a few minor glitches I have had really good performance with it. I have a buddy who bought the Hornady + he has had problems with the primer feed from day one. Why they make Fords + Chevys I suppose.
