How Phil reloads on a Dillon:

[sdmc530]

I have to admit I did purchase two things that were "aftermarket" for the press.

First a light, I had trouble with my aging eyes to check the powder in the case. I got it at inline fabrications because they use LED lights that don't create heat and you can add more light for other areas. The light is a great addition.

Second the only real modification was to add the live primer catch cup. The stock version was just a little chute, labeled the "ski jump" and it did just that jump the primers all over the darn place. If you removed a case or didn't prime a round the primer would drop out to the chute but it wasn't a great design. When I asked Dillon CS they said they did that because you should never store live primers with each other without separating them. Very true but very inconvenient when loading many rounds. There are many home made ways to fix this but you can buy one for about $15 and that is what I did. Off flea-bay and was a great addition. I never store primers there just catch them fyi.

Other than these two items everything is purchased form Dillon, case feeder, racks to hang loaded primer tubes. They make a great product. I did check to see if either of these things have warranty issues. I didn't want to mess up the no BS warranty. They said no issues with them.
