I know this is a long shot right now but does anybody have a set of Dillon 9mm dies they're willing to part with for a reasonable price?
A conversion kit for a Dillon 550 would be good too.
I've picked a Hell of a time to want one but that's me....
Thanks

I always used my RCBS 9mm dies with a CP taper crimp die in my 550B.

Does the Dillon 550take special dies or are you just wanting Dillon dies?? Trapr The 550 does not take special dies. In fact I would not personally recommend the Dillon dies. They don't produce hardly anything themselves anyway, and their dies are outsourced. I recently had to send Dillon dies back for a new RL 1100 that they said would only take 6 weeks to get (the press). I waited 6 months. The punchline is that on my Dillon presses about 1/2 the dies have been replaced with other dies from Redding, RCBS and Lee. As much as I very much prefer the Dillon machines over any others, their customer service is not what it was when Mike Dillon was alive and running the company, and the products that are being allowed to be shipped are less than acceptable. My 1100 which when all set up with accessories was well north of $2K was supposed to be ready to go as it arrived. After much struggling, trying to assess various issues, I ended up doing a complete tear down and re-assembled the machine myself. I could not afford to wait months for them to "fix" it and not know if the did it right, as well as spend any more time on hold, on the phone. I have literally spent hours over the course of months waiting to talk to a live person the various times I have been on the phone. The punchline is Dillon is not the same company, and I would not intentionally buy Dillon dies when there are much better dies out there. |
