Mike DIllon, of Dillon Precision fame, has died. I am an unabashed user of his products and recommend them without hesitation. I also cannot say enough about their world-class customer service. As a survivalist, being able to reload my own ammo efficiently and accurately is a pretty big deal, and the Dillon 550 and RL1050 have been my go-to for quantity reloading for almost 30 years. I hope his company keeps up the good work he started now that he’s gone.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Mike Dillon. Mike left us on the morning of November 7th, 2016. He leaves behind a large family including wife Carol, sons Stephen and Christopher, daughter Stephanie, and 9 grandchildren. Mike’s legacy has touched the lives of countless people worldwide. He revolutionized the ammunition reloading industry and made it what it is today. Mike also redesigned and manufactured the M134 Minigun that is now in service in the United States and foreign military forces. As a passionate aviator, he worked for TWA as a 2nd officer for 13 years and later made a name for himself as a writer for Air Progress Magazine. He is recognized by some as being the one who started the warbird restoration movement in the 1960’s.

Mike’s dedication to his family, his customers, and this country was exemplary. We hope to continue the legacy that Mike Dillon worked so hard to build and we will never forget the impact that he has had on us all. We take comfort knowing he is flying in the blue skies of heaven above.
