Did that part come with the conversion or the press? I'm pretty sure that is part #80: collar sleeve. I think I'd try to get an old toothbrush in there to brush the powder out rather than wash it out. Honestly I'm not sure if it came with the conversion or not. I tried getting it with a toothbrush but it's stuck on pretty good |

That is part 80. IDK how you are gonna clean that hopper, call Dillon and order a new one if it's trashed. Thanks that's it, the hopper isn't so bad it's just coated on everything else, I'm trying to avoid dealing with dillon...called for some questions the other day and guy was rude and didn't seem like he wanted to help. I thought they were sopposed to have a good warranty but I have a broken spring on my priming system and would have had to pay for the spring plus a stupid amount for shipping ot |

Those guys are usually pretty good, but you get a cranky one once in a while.
You might as well tear down the press and clean it all, check for anymore broken parts in the ram. They are pretty easy to strip down. Call Dillon back you'll prolly get someone different, they might give you the parts. |

I would call them again, the chances are small you will get the same guy again. I don't normally call unless I'm also ordering parts. My normal method is emailing them. But I always include my customer #. Dillon should replace any broken parts and send a new hopper. The plastic part will fall out when the powder measure is removed if the tab is pulled out too far. Good luck.

How's this for porn: retail is up around $385 now I believe! (Still an excellent value IMHO) I've been running this machine since '87 in 9mm, .38/.357, .40S&W/10mm, .45ACP and .44Mag/spl with only minor repairs and maintenance; tens of thousands of rounds. in 2011, while doing a caliber change over, I had a helicoil come out of the frame. I called Dillon and was instructed to send it in. I got it back 2 weeks later. They had replaced nearly the entire machine; the frame, primer assembly, new powder measure assembly, various washers and bearings/small parts in the linkage and press and the charge? $0!! Of course I was familiar with Dillons warranty before this but, after nearly 30 years of honest and reliable use, I would have gladly paid for SOMETHING. Needless to say I am a customer for life. I guess what I'm saying with this (too) long post is, call them again. While it's no excuse, maybe you just caught the guy on a bad day. Oh, and, sorry if I high jacked your thread

It's possible the warranty does not say that Dillon will replace every part or fix every failure at no cost to the press owner. I'm not going to read it to find out, but that would be a good step for everyone that owns Dillon equipment. |

Usually Dillon help has chimed here by now. Anyone that ever thought Dillon parts are low cost never bothered to check the prices in their catalog.
This is the only comment I can find about warranty, from the back of the SDB manual (available for down load directly from Dillon's web site): Friend at the Factory We started this manual by saying if you have a problem, call us. We mean it. Anyone can make a mistake. There’s no such thing as a dumb question. If something is giving you a problem, let us help you! Technical Support: 1-800-223-4570 www.dillonprecision.com NOTICE: This machine is designed specifically to be a manually operated handloading machine. Any attempts to mechanize this product will void the warranty. We specifically warn against converting this product to automated or motorized operation. All Dillon machines are warrantied for life from defects in material or workmanship, except the XL/Super 1050, plus a one year 100% warranty against normal wear. All electrical/electronic components in Dillon equipment are covered by a one year warranty. Straight forward, easy to understand. |

I can officially say dillon has the worst service of ANY reloading company I have dealt with.im really tempted to sell all my dillon stuff and buy a hornady LNL With that sort of non-specific complaint, I'd say you should hold off on airing it here. What is your reloading experience? |

That's funny though when I call to ask a few questions on 2 seperate occasions I get assholes that are rude and don't provide help Quoted:

I have experience dealing with RCBS and LEE and they have both been nothing but polite and helpfull I stand by my post about them being rude |
