Even though Dillon says that it wil take at least 8 weeks more like 10 weeks, I'm kinda excited and had to share. Don't know anything about reloading except what I have read, so I hope that I can count on you guys and gals from time to time.
 
you should start buying components now. Some of my regular stuff I am having some issues getting. Like primers. When you can find em, buy them. Don't really go bad ever.
 
Congrats on the purchase, I own two 650's so if you need any help when you get it let me know...

I ordered a dillon 1050 6 weeks ago and still no sign of it as of yet, I hope you don't mind the wait it sure could take a bit of time with all the stuff going on in the US...
 
Ahhhhh Dillon.... Been there... Done that... Bought the T-shirt....

It's actually a really nice t-shirt... It's blue... Nice logo on the breast and back!

I visited there facility in AZ over the holidays, they were so busy they dident allow tours... Next christmas I will be a bit more persistent!

I looooove my 650.
 
Your gonna pay thru the nose....! I ordered from Dillon a little over a year ago for a square deal reloader....Customs raked me over the coals and that square deal when it finally got here...cost me about 700 dollars total....hope that doesnt happent to you guys...

P.S. I did order extra items from Dillon on that deal but paid well over the 100 dollar mark thru customs...closer to 150 dollars if I remember correctly...

Was is shipped USPS? The brokerage fees from the shipping companies are highway robbery.

How did customs rake you over the coals? You only need to pay HST.

There is no duty for items manufactured in the states. It's called free trade. The only charge is HST. I've done it several times with dillon both picking up in the states and having it shipped.
 
You'll love your 650 absolutely the best reloading decision I've made. Watch lots of video's and go slow to start, ask lot's of questions and buy huge amounts of components.... you'll need them

Someone better tell customs about free trade because I have had to pay it (duty)a few times already

I use kinek mail boxes, & have things mailed near border crossings, then drive it over. I avoid customs brokerage fees that way. If I have to pay anything, it will just be HST. Maybe not even that if I tie it into a two day wknd over the border with the family.

Ordered the dvd and plan on buying the Lyman reloading book. Unless I hear about another one through the recommendations of my fellow Cgnrs.
