...you guys will argue about anything
LOL!!!
Without the frame of experience, reference from using other "progressive" presses, how in the bleepity bleep bleep does one know their press is so enrapturingly wonderful???????
(Use the force Luuuke) ...because it either works or it doesn't? It's either user friendly or it isn't? It's either problematic or it isn't? You either consider it a pain in the butt or you like it? I like my 550 so much I bought a 2nd one. Should I have bought a red one to make sure I liked the Dillon better? Surely you jest!
I had a problem with the 550 once at ~ the 5000 round mark IIRC. I called dillon and they told me which screw had worked loose.
And the occassional upside down primer thing? Yeah, it happens with the Dillon. Ok even though they put it in there about how it happens...they also put it in there that "you are supposed to watch the primer as the machine is cycling and the primer bar is traveling forward" (did you forget that earingun?) it takes a millisecond longer to (gasp) follow instructions and learn to pay attention and use the machine correctly. Dillon makes that machine so simple that even a monkey could run it (almost!) You guys badmouthing this machine should realize that yes that is a metaphor and you really only have to be 10% smarter than the machine to run it efficiently.
If it was REALLY monkeyproof, it wouldn't be as cheap as it is. Yes I said CHEAP and am speaking of value. Let's realize some personal responsibility here and rise up to something above a lawyer mentality. It's called mechanical aptitude folks and there may be a slight learning curve. I'm prolly the dumbest guy on this board (sic) and I can use the darn thing with no complaints! Machines are like that. I will pick up the slack of the machine (!!) and say hey, thanks Mike Dillon for a product that even I CAN RUN!~!!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I am smarter than the machine, I must be a genius!!
