    Default Dillon Powder Adjusters

    For those of you that have Dillon presses (SDB, 550, 650, 1050, 900) I found this accessory (you may already know about it) that you can adjust the powder bar without using a wrench.

    http://www.taylor-tactical-supply.co.../dillon-pb.htm

    I have no dog in the hunt, but it sure makes adjusting the powder bar easier (IMO)

    Gearhog.com had these on sale 2 weeks ago and I got them for $7.99 each

    The hex nut on my 550B is easy to adjust with my fingers but the graduated scale on this might make it a buyer for me.

    That's pretty cool.
    I don't change the powder drop often enough to make it worth my while.


    These guys have a bunch of Dillon "After Market" stuff. Some of which I considered buying or making myself.

    I've used these for a few years & have no complaints.

    Step 1: Pick one out from the junk parts bin that fits snug on the hex head. Step 2: Profit.

    Aside from the boards, motors, and other electronics, yes

    I 3D printed a sight pusher too....and tool head stands....and a primer chute for the Dillon 550 and Pro1000s....the list goes on and on
    I'm only here for the wood c-rings.
