I remember one time I accidentally left an empty case on the aluminum feed area next to the shellplate, the one that holds the primer and dispenses it into the spent primer collection box. When I pulled the lever to cycle the machine, it broke that aluminum assembly completely off, ruined. I called Dillon and told them what happened, and they told me to hold for a moment. To my surprise, Mike Dillon himself got on the line, and said he couldn't believe the thing broke, but not to worry, he was overnighting me another one. My machine is a 550B I bought in 1986, and have loaded well over 100,000 rounds through it and it is still going strong.......

If more American companies had Mike Dillons' attitude towards business, we would rule the world without firing a shot......
