Reloading equipment... Dillon?...

[i_dive_2]

I've been reloading for many years, although in smaller amounts using a single stage Lee press, RCBS dies, so on and so fourth... I am now going to be reloading in LARGE quatities now that my wife is also shooting and has renewed my interest in sport shooting. I would really like to go with a Dillion press, most likely the RL550B as it will suit our purpose just fine.

I purchased my reloading equipment at our local gun shop many years ago. Back then the owner/operator had a "just give me your money" attitude and was not at all helpful when it came to experience with reloading... Unfortunately, he's become much WORSE over the years! He has a VERY strong preference to RCBS and VERY little knowledge on how to use them! He has an RCBS progressive machine which has been sitting on the shelf for as many years as I can remember, with almost a half inch of dust on it that he wants a fortune for! I honestly don't know how he made it in business (especially THIS type of business) for so long!

Anyhow, rant now over... Can someone tell me where they are purchasing their Dillon equipment from? I can't seem to find a source for it! I'm looking to purchase a new Dillon RL550B and a couple of tumblers... I'm in Merritt, B.C. and don't mind ordering from another province, if I can't find one close to me. Don't mind picking up a used machine either.

Any help or suggestion appreciated.

There's also no problem dealing with Dillon directly.
Sure you have to pay for shipping and you pst/gst, but... with todays dollar it's not so bad.
I deal direct wherever possible

Best place I've found for Dillon stuff is from Murray Gardner at mdgardner @ telus.net

Hope this email response doesn't get bounced by big brother

P&D out of Edmonton but if you are wanting a bunch of stuff buy direct from Dillon.
With the dollar on par you won't get any better brake that now.

If you are like me and want to actually see the product and handle it you might try Del Selin gunsmith in Vernon. I believe he is a dillon dealer. Smokey

In the lower mainland BC both Murray and Kelly (SMoking Gun) are Dillon dealers. both are good guys to deal with.

I dealt with Brian (or Jayne) Stephens at the Reloader's Bench. I know there are local options, but I'm always short on time, so being able to look everything over on their site was helpful for me.

I found them super to deal with and my experience was so good I contacted them after about a month to send them more money for more stuff. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend them to anyone. They are great!

I bought one direct one via a Canadian dealer.....if I buy another one I would go direct....especially with the current exchange!
