RIP Mike Dillon -- Dillon Precision

Post by Old No7 »

End of an era at Dillon Precision...

While I'm sure that their great products and company will continue, I think all of us who own progressive presses -- Dillon's and others too -- owe him a debt for the ideas and product designs he brought to high-volume reloaders.

I might just have to go load a few hundred rounds on my Dillon and fire off a tribute.

Great guy, met Rob Leatham's sister recently. She spoke very highly of Mike who was apparently her father's best friend.

Not to mention his acquisition and total re-design over (that made it ultra reliable) of the military's mini gun.
