Dillon 450 Roller Handle

[3Gunnah]

I got the new parts from Dillon yesterday. After disassembling the press and wrestling with the "arms" to get them to fit with the new "crank", I was almost done. The new pin that attaches the "arms" to the crank has a grease fitting. Not having a grease gun, I had to make a trip to Harbor Freight to get one. The roller handle fits and functions well. Now that the press is cleaned, oiled and greased, all I have to do is make sure that the powder charge is ok. I plan on trying the press out next week. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to like the roller handle.

You will need to check the settings on all of your dies, not just your powder measure because the crank can affect how high the ram goes.

Everything is fine. The press works like it should. The new pin with the grease fitting makes the press work easier. I'm cranking out good ammo now with less effort and less strain on the old hand.
