    RCBS are great for warranty!
    I split length wise one of their trim dies in .308w resizing milsurp brass. It was replaced with a new one, just provided photos of the issue.

    Mmm...maybe I was premature on the primer catcher update, looks like its still the original dinky little plastic cup thingy..bugger!

    Yes I've had excellent service from RCBS previously. I bought a powder measure off a forum member a couple of years ago. The little plastic screw in bits that you push the brass up into to receive the powder were long gone. I wrote to ask if I could buy them, having exhausted NZ sources. They sent me a pair free of charge as a warranty repair!! Not even a shipping cost.

    I know a lot but it seems less every day...

    Due to the exorbitant cost of reloading components, warning shots will not be given.

    Yeah Dillon is great. Bought a 550b in estate sale a few years back. It was missing a bunch of bits and priced accordingly. I expected to come out alright budgeting for missing parts and already had a powder measure for it but no connector rod, spent primer bin, large primer slide, large powder slide, large primer tubes Went to Serious Shooters, the only bit they couldn't replace as a warranty item was the early-out-of-primers warning module. Had to pay for that one. Bugger!

    Fantastic service in a world where the more likely response is "you're shit out of luck" lol
