SDB has a new powder measure collar assembly

#1 · May 24, 2024, 10:29 pm

I was getting some warranty parts for my powder measure and Dillon sent along a new SDB collar assembly--the part that attaches the PM to the top of the powder measure die.

The SDB is (was) the only Dillon machine that had a different method to hold the powder measure on. Seems like they now have one that appears to attach like all the other machines do.

There are two screws holding a collar whereas the old method was one screw that held in an "L" bracket.

Since I was in the middle of solving some problems, righting some wrongs, fighting for Truth, Justice, and the American Way I haven't had a chance to install it yet.

Unfortunately, that connector body collar you were sent is not compatible with the SDB machine. If you are converting your SDB measure for use on the RL550/650/750, then this part is all you need.
