reloading bench is no place to get into a hurry. We have done everything we know how
to make your machine as safe as possible. We cannot, however, guarantee your
complete safety. To minimize your risk, use common sense when reloading and follow
these basic rules.
• REMEMBER: If your machine does not perform to your expectations, or if you are having
technical difficulties, give us a call.
Mounting the DILLON BFR for use.
A fully equipped
Dillon BFR can weigh
on the order of 90
pounds. At full stroke
could very well
provide 600 foot
pounds of torque
wanting to break
your bench. We
suggest a heavy
hardwood bench, or
our optional steel
pedestal. The Dillon
BFR was designed to
be operated while
standing. With the
machine handle
cycled all the way
down, the handle
ball should be in
hand with the
operators’ arms
comfortably resting
full length at their side. Thus, the bench top should be 18 inches higher than the center of
the palm, with arms resting at full length. Keep in mind to provide about 12 inches of work
space on each side of the machine for various loading peripherals and components.
Place the base of the machine, with the lip resting flush with the edge of the mount. Using
the machine itself as a template, mark and drill four 3/8 inch holes in your bench for your
Dillon BFR. Use GRADE 5 or better, 3/8 inch bolts to mount your machine. If you are unsure
of the bolts you are using please consult a local hardware store or call our experts at
Dillon for a 50 BMG Mounting Hardware Kit Part# 50140.
