I have had two problems with dillon products.
1-electrinic scale went south.I only live about 90 mi so went to dillon.Replaced and out of there in 10 min.
2-My fault.A screw loosened up on my powder measure and jammed the system,broke a casting.Again a no questions asked 10 min replace.
Dillon is a very trouble free system.These two problems are all the problems I have had in about 8 yrs of useing dillon 450's and now a 550b.No system will not break but dillon is well built and doesn't give user much for problems.A progressive press has more moveing parts then a single stage thus is more prone to problems.That is common sense so don't be fooled by people telling you that dillon has more problems with breakage then any other unit don't believe it.The simple fact is that when you do have a problem you have some of the best backup and warrenty that is around.
