Is it true that all Dillon Fans only use GLOCKS?
Nope. I'm a Dillon owner and fan (though not, I hope, an irrational fanboi) and have zero interest in Glocks. But their fanbois can be similar in many, many, many ways.

I seldom hear a Dillon user call anyone else stupid.
But almost everyday I hear the LEE fanboys telling Dillon (Or Hornady, RCBS etc) users, "Why on earth did you p!ss away all that money on that Dillon when everybody knows that the Lee is better and cheaper.
And they forget the rule that "better" and 'cheaper" do not belong in the same sentence.
Gee Rule3 you really are asking for a fight!
I guess I'm an example of one in a crowd of one hundred, and I'm the single "idiot" walking the opposite direction. Presses and Guns. I prefer underdogs in sports too. Maybe there's a screw loose....but that's ok by me.
I do love a Series 70 Colt 1911 Gold Cup but I sold it. Too classic, and perfect to shoot...every time I shot it I felt guilty somehow. My carry gun is a Ruger SR .40S&W ..... light, sleek, narrow, 15 rounds, and accurate as hell.....what's not to like. And "Blocks"? I mean Glocks.....I can't hit the broadside of a barn with the ones I've tried and they sure aren't pretty....and S&W's are over priced. I don't like paying for a name, unless it really is better. Again....your experience will vary...I repeat, we are all different. Thanks be to God for that.
Now pay attention folks: Hey cheygriz Northplatte Ne is only 220 miles from Cheyenne I'm sure that's where you are from with your name. You bring your 100% Dillon and I will bring my 100% Hornady and we will bet them I will give you the choice of caliper, a 500 round run or a one hour run. You pick the hotel and the date and I will drive my 300 miles to take your press. Now, all you have to do is pick the press you want to run against.Simple. the best is always the most expensive. Many folks who can't, or won't, buy the most expensive, try very hard to make themselves believe that their less expensive item is "just as good" as the more expensive item.
As an example, just look at how many will try to convince you that a Lee is just as good as an RCBS or Hornady. It isn't, of course, but their ego won't allow them to believe it.
Well, then I guess we'll have to coin a fanboi name for users of the new Mark 7 Evolution...who stopped supplying dies (Lee) with their presses, but raised the price slightly (about 10%).Simple. the best is always the most expensive. Many folks who can't, or won't, buy the most expensive, try very hard to make themselves believe that their less expensive item is "just as good" as the more expensive item.

Yes, that is a Hornady AP Press. Yes, that is a Hornady Case feeder with a collator. Yes, that is a Hornady bullet feeder with a collator. Yes, that is a Hornady Delux Control Panel. And to prove to you how much I like Hornady I will use Hornady bullets and Hornady Cases.
Note: I have not lost a bet in 35 years and the deck is stacked in my favor this time. Now, I have spent many hours getting my Hornady to run perfectly The primers feed faster than I can pull the handle The case feeder has a case ready to go faster than I can pull the handle and the bullet feeder can load a bullet faster than I can pull the handle. I didn't set up my Hornady to run "just as good" as your expensive item, I made it to run "better"

.........and there are many HP users who wish you'd write an illustrated book on how you made the AP nare perfect.....it would sell.....such perfection doesn't come straight out of the box.....from any brand.
No just figured "Perfection" went with Perfection After changing out every part on a a Glock as a modification
Ow, that stings...now glockers and dillons will be jumping up and down. I own both, one is utilitarian, the other functional. Im not going to down anybodys choice, untill they start telling me Im stupid for my choices, i think most of us probably use what works, and if disposable income allows a new/different setup go for itIs it true that all Dillon Fans only use GLOCKS?

Same holds true for the Ruger 10/22.........
Nobody doubts you like red! But your picture.....it's pristine. I know you took it after many hours of mess building it.....I've seen your bench with only 2 presses....now it's loaded for bear! .

This is quite the all American thread.....reminds me of me buying my 10/22.........at a grocery store in Provo, Utah......for $59 with a real walnut stock. What a deal! My son shoots it these days. But no reloading of .22's so it's off topic.
I own a Dillon.....a bottle of brass polish....does that count? Not hardly, I know. I do wish I had the room for 2 presses to play with....a 1050 and a 650 would be fun to wring out.....and a red AP too. Hey! I could have fun with a Lee Loadmaster too!
My new Pro Chucker 7 is coming along great though.....busy, busy. Too fun! What I really need to do is purge my space of all the exercise equipment gathering dust....and add some of this important stuff!
Rule3, one thing I don't own is even one token Block. Never will. They just don't fit these hands. I have another Ruger, a Security Six, a Kahr, and my .45 (post Gold Cup) is a Kimber Stainless Target II.....and that's all...a pretty small collection.
