Give me a place to stand and a long-enough lever, and I will invariably break the lever.

Interesting. I'll have to look it over more in depth later.

I was actually reading through the Forum when your addition here came through . . .
Your observation was right on, there is mostly old information on their forum. It seems that they are attempting to "re-introduce" the forum (it may have been unavailable for some time).
Their facility is about an hour's drive south of me and they have a nice retail store. All of their models are available for hands-on demos and their "experts" are available for questions or assistance.
Dillon has a great track record of customer support; I stop in often just to see what's new and pet the store dog. I only have their Square Deal B press (straight wall cases only) set-up for 4 handgun calibers. It's the only progressive press I own. The rest of my reloading is done on single stage presses. I don't shoot enough volume to justify getting into high volume progressives. Besides reloading is my therapy and I don't want it to go too quickly.

I have to admit that on my multi-colored bench, there is no Blue. Just never came right. Now, I've been receiving the Blue Press for years, and always flip through it. (I'm glad it's now on line, because my wife always looked at the models skeptically...) I guess I like to set up one miss at a time !

Pooh ~
Come out for a visit, Dillon is only an hour or so south of us and you can see them up close and functioning (I've been there a lot and never seen any of the models so MRS doesn't have to worry).
After we see Dillon, we can go about an hour and a half north of us and you can see the Grand Canyon.
We have a guest room available and would love to meet you.
~ Larry

I used to think I wanted to live in California.....Then I went a few times....once from Las Vegas on the Freeways late Saturday night. Learned my lesson. 90 mph bumper to bumper most of the way...slow down and you die. The only safety is the off ramps to nowhere. My wife was petrified..... Learned to love my North New Mexico lonely....  Then I thought St. George Utah would be a nice peaceful place to live, then Californians began escaping, and now it's nearly as crowded as where they escaped from. I'll stay here..... |

Growing up in California through the fifties and sixties . . . it was a great place to live.
Very sad, what's happened there. . .
(Bob; I am really enjoying the lonelyness; never was one for crowdes and the folks I run into here (except for the Californians moving in) are most all of like mind)

Of course Bob lives in the "other" better California......not yet infested with liberals and homeless camps, in the mountains away from the coasts? As a boy I visited Southern Cal and liked it, and went on a honey moon there too. Moved my Sister there twice. My daughter married a fine man from Placentia, and they lived there while going to school, but it changed. They chose to move out upon graduation and he practices and lives here now....with no desire to move back to the crowds....a NM convert, I guess!  |

Or you can stay in the mountains where you can hunt and fish....that'd be my preference too, if I had to. It's still a pretty neat place to live, if you can stay away from the government, politicians, and the billions of people....right?(and the endless lines at Disneyland) If you hold on, maybe that will change....with the population decreases continuing......shucks if you are the last man standing, think how beautiful the coast would be.
Call me when that happens so I can escape where they are reestablishing, in New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, etc. and I'll grab Snapshot and we'll both sneak back in to keep you company.......

How did you get into Ruger? They are only a few miles from us and it would be eaiser to get into Ft. Knox. They do not allow visitors . . . I even bought some stock thinking that would get me in; no luck!

Larry, I said "to", not "in". I was going by one day on business (I'm about 39 miles away) so I stopped and took a selfie. It appeared that I was attracting attention that I didn't want, so I sort of edged out.

My daughter came from Missouri, my son and grand son, my wife and I had a nice dinner of grilled "porter house" pork chops, corn on the cobb, my son, G'son and I share 10/5. G'son is 4 minutes early though @ 10/4.
Pooh I hope you find to right house .
