Like many here, I started with a Lee Loader, .264 Magnum, about 1978. Advanced to a Rock Chucker. When the time came to get a progressive I learned of a new brand called "Dillon". I ordered one (Model 200?) and the owner's manual was hand written.

I'll never forget Dillon's philosophy, the last line in the owner's manual said something like: "If you have problems, call us at 800-xxx-xxxx. We can probably do more in a 5 minute phone call than a month of letter writing".

I wish I still had that owner's manual. Anyone else remember the hand written manual?
