Brian Enos questions

So I'm setting up to reload for 300 blackout, and I want to buy a Dillon 1050 in 300 blackout.

I read somewhere that Brian Enos has a 5% discount and free shipping compared to Dillon, which never discounts.

I don't see a discount anywhere on his website or a coupon code.

How do I get this discount?

Also, if I need repairs on the 1050, do I send it back to Dillon or to Brian? He doesn't answer his phone.

I'm thinking I'll just order through Dillon, like I did with my other 1050s. Is there a reason to order through Brian?
 
He's not answering his phone? And you're still thinking about buying from him? I can't even believe you have to think about this to make a decision.
 
No, he doesn't answer his phone, because he is a one man company, but he will return a PM right away from the forums. You have to register with BrianEnos.com. Everyone who shoots competition buys from Benos because he does offer a discount and knows his way around competition and reloading. If you already own a 1050 it needs to go back to Dillon.

his email is support@brianenos.com
 
Mostly it's a good idea to buy from Brian as a thank you for maintaining a wonderfully useful web site full of great information, discount or not.

I wish! :)

I have not discounted Dillon equipment since 2004.

I'm flat out 6 - 7 days a week with Dillon Precision onlines sales and email support. I can type really fast... I've send up to 100+ emails a day, in that same time I could field maybe 10 - 15 phone calls, at best.

I've replied to every email I've ever received every business day for 15 years:

support@brianenos.com

Don't hesitate to email me.

But check these:

... More than likely you find the answer to any question you have in them.
 
Dillon does not let any dealer give discounts. MRSP is the only price. Brian and others may add things to the deal that are LIKE a discount, but Dillon would frown on a real discount.
At least if you buy from Enos, you have HIM and Dillon to help you.
Get the Dillon DVD and carefully watch what the technician/narrator DOES, without even thinking about it.
 
I've only ever reloaded on Dillon reloaders, so I'm very familiar with them.

I was looking for a deal of some sort. Looks like none to be had.

On a side note, before I went to graduate school in the late 90s, I had a 1050 that I sold because I couldn't take it with me to school. About 10 years later, I got back into reloading and bought my current reloading set up, which is comprised of mostly of Dillon stuff. I swear that the current 1050s are different from the 1050s that I remember from the mid to late 90s. I can't put my finger on the difference.
 
That's because they are two slightly different presses. The older RL1050 and the newer Super1050. The main difference is that the Super can handle long action rifle cases where the RL can't, the Super has a longer stroke.
 
I bought my last press through Brian. Only way to go. He was there to answer all my questions and make sure I got the right press for my needs, a 650 with the case feeder.

Delivery was excellent. My case feeder had to be backordered. It got here the next day. LOL.

Yeah, just kidding. Look closer. It's only your brain that's on phone vacation. That's why the wishing works! :D

I had a mail order business decades ago, and understand it's hard to keep up. 100 emails a day can be a molehill or a mountain, depending on technical detail content level. Just be thankful it isn't snail mail, like it was in my time.

(On the other hand, that's what family members are meant to be exploited for!:))
 
Now, that's downright scary.
How did Brian know this thread was about him so he could answer so fast?

He has 56,797 members on his forum, I am betting someone that is members of both told him about the thread.
 
Or, if you have a business on line and value your reputation, you do a search on it at least once a week to see what people are saying about you, and stuff like this will come up.
