Want to Save Money on Dillon Precision?

[COSteve]

Don't use Dillon's on-line ordering as it isn't synced completely with the prices in the Blue Press. Call the Dillon Reps and order through them.

Bold statement but is it right? I have a spreadsheet of all my purchases from Dillon throughout the last 20 yrs and I noticed that there are omissions and price differences on the website from what you can find in the Blue Press.

So, I called the Dillon rep and asked him about it and he said, yes, there are differences and they can get you the lowest price only if you order from them. If you order on-line you are stuck with whatever the computer says.

Example of Price Difference:

On-Line Ordering:
On-line price: p/n 13756 AkroBin | Square Deal + $4.25
On-line price: p/n 13839 AkroBin | RL550 / XL750 / XL650 + $3.50
On-line price: p/n 13484 AkroBin | RL 1050 + $9.75
On-line price: p/n 17125 AkroBin | SL 900 + $12.00

Blue Press April 2023, page 35
Blue Press price: p/n 13756 AkroBin | Square Deal + 1ea $2.99, 6ea $15.30, 12ea $24.84
(1ea at $2.99ea, 6ea at $2.55ea, 12ea at $2.07ea)
Blue Press price: p/n 13839 AkroBin | RL550 / XL750 / XL650 + 1ea $2.99, 6ea $15.30, 12ea $24.84
(1ea at $2.99ea, 6ea at $2.55ea, 12ea at $2.07ea)
Blue Press price: p/n 17125 AkroBin | SL 900 + 1ea $6.99, 6ea $34.92, 12ea $61.92
(1ea at $6.99ea, 6ea at $5.82ea, 12ea at $5.16ea)
Blue Press price: p/n 17125 AkroBin | SL 900 + 1ea $10.50, 6ea $56.94, 12ea $106.92
(1ea at $10.50ea, 6ea at $2.55ea, 12ea at $8.91ea)

Example of P/N and Ordering Difference (Price is the Same):

On-Line:
110/220v Variable-Speed Casefeed Assembly: Dillon doesn't list the casefeeder & plate as a unit on-line. They are sold separately (#62510 & #21072 [small pistol]). Same with the Large pistol, small rifle and large rifle; you have to buy the plate separately. The on-line system doesn't recognize the p/n for the casefeeder and plate together (eg. #21079 for casefeeder and small pistol plate) at all.

Blue Press April 2023, page 22
The Blue Press lists part numbers and prices for the casefeeder and any of the 5 feed plates as a complete assy (eg. #21079 for casefeeder and small pistol plate) as well as the price of each plate.

These are examples of what I found as differences but the Dillon rep implied that there are more so he said he recommended that I order everything by phone to ensure I get the correct parts and the lowest price.
