Most used progressive presses

[angus6]

It does happen, every once in a while. Some years back, my wife bought my 550 from a club member pal of ours who was parting out an estate, and she paid $250!

Yeah I almost pulled the trigger on this the other day, it's still tempting

DILLON RL550B, LIKE NEW, INCLUDES 6 QUICK CHANGE SETS AND LOTS OF OTHER ACCESSORIES $700

Personally I have no problem with someone buying junk, if they know it is and they know what they are willing to live with. What I DO have a problem with is the fools recommending junk to a beginner knowing it will set them up to fail, so the fools will feel they are some how "superior" because they inconvenienced some poor beginner or even killed any interest in reloading, because they bought junk and want to make everyone get screwed too.

Does the LNL AP or the good Dillons ever get sold at significantly reduced price? I am in the market but not in a hurry.

keep an eye on E-Bay, deals come up from time to time , I have seen dillons go for less than a RCBS and I've seen pro1000 go for more that you could get a Loadmaster for? no rime or reason , however I see no used hornady's on there right now and only a few dillons

I agree with the head shake ,, this is the "HIGHROAD" right , to bad he is making a bad name for dillon , as they make a great press !

Then its obvious there are hundreds of thousands of "fools" out there using "junk" hoping others get killed?

Is this a fact in some posters minds?

Why do some always seem to see the need of name calling?

I wonder how many Dillon Fanboys have ever had a warranty claim with Lee. I've had three, and two of them were beyond warranty period and I wasn't the original buyer. They replaced everything for free even though according to some they don't stand behind their warranty.

Every reloader should also realize that without Lee there would be less people reloading. They hit a price point for a quality product that works. Most new reloaders don't want to spend $1k for a press when they aren't sure they will want to/enjoy doing it. A few hundred is easy to swallow.

Why people get hung up on brands is beyond me. You hear it all the time on job sites how Milwaukee is superior to DeWalt or vice versa. And if you really want to talk about warranty periods and not standing behind products deal with those tyle of tools.

I said it earlier, buy the tool that best serves your needs. It doesn't matter what color it is. And the color does not make it superior to another color press. I had a feeling this would degrade into a bash another brand thread.

While you might run into a deal on the LNL or Dillon on some sales site (Craig's list for example) or in the paper, but don't expect to see one cheap at a gun show, gun store or other shooting site. E-Bay won't have any cheap ones either as Dillon has a very high resale value because it is a high quality piece of equipment and guaranteed for ever.

You buy a Rolls and it holds it's value, you buy a Yugo and it drops in value every day. Sure both will get you from point A to point B, but the Rolls does it much better than the Yugo does, or at least it has a heater, a smooth ride and style.

Same with presses, if you want junk that has a worthless, so called "two year warranty", you can pick them up new, for very cheap prices, and the resale value drops like a rock from there. OR you can buy a high quality press that you can actually USE, pass along to your kids still working, and it will STILL be under warranty and STILL hold it's value.

Personally I have no problem with someone buying junk, if they know it is and they know what they are willing to live with. What I DO have a problem with is the fools recommending junk to a beginner knowing it will set them up to fail, so the fools will feel they are some how "superior" because they inconvenienced some poor beginner or even killed any interest in reloading, because they bought junk and want to make everyone get screwed too.

so, I'm a fool. I've failed. I have no interest left in reloading. I want everyone else to get screwed, too. The free replacement part was just a pigment of my colorful imagination.

I KNEW I should have painted my press blue .

I must admit I have never called Lee for a warranty issue on a Dillon.

That would explain the "colorful" imagination.

Well, enough of this unpleasantness.
