I was reloading some 9mm this aft. on my 20+ year old Dillon 550 B when I noticed a case without powder.
I always keep an eye on the shell to make sure there is powder in it before I seat the bullet. When I check the measure, I discovered that the piece that activates the powder drop on the measure had broken off. The aluminum casting had fractured.
So I start thinking about where I will be buying my next powder measure. Then I wonder if Dillon will cover it under the lifetime warranty. This is where it gets good.
I called Dillon on their toll free number (wish Glock had one of those!) at 3:00 pm CDT on a Saturday and a friendly Dillon employee was there to answer in one ring, tells me no problem, of course they will send out a replacement part, first thing Monday morning!
This is on a machine that has loaded 100K+ rounds in the last twenty years and is my first parts breakage.
What a great company!
If Motorola stood behind their cell phones like Dillon looks after their customers, the US economy would be in much better shape right now.
