Before I got my 650 in 1994, I was wearing out 3 lee reloaders a year. The Dillon 650 has ran flawlessly thru the years. I finally wore out the plastic case pusher 2 years ago and when I called Dillon, it was still under their "no bullshit warranty" after 20 years + I received free shipping.

R.I.P. Mr. Dillon

I've had a 650 for about a year now. The Dillon company has had one of the best reputations of any gun company for customer service and quality product that I have ever heard of or interacted with. The lifetime no BS warranty really is. Condolences to his family and friends.

Was he still running the company or did he pass it on? This is sad news and I hope the company stays the same. I bought my 650 on the sole principal of their ethics and how they treated people.

The Dillon girls aren't too bad either ;)

Bought my 550 around '83 and my 650 about 4 years ago. I only had to use their customer service one time for a broken part that was my fault. They replaced it and I have praised their company from the day I put the 550 to work. Great company, great products. Dillon's family and the shooting community have lost an icon.

RIP, sir. Dillon is a top notch friendly customer oriented business. A Square Deal B was my first press- well used but still running strong.
