Dillon 550B


Pit Bull Tex

Recommended Posts

Just got my Blue Press and it has a casefeeder upgrade for my RL 550B. Anyone with a 550B have one yet?

The 550 case feeder has been available for several years.

 

Save your money and get the 650 with case feeder.

 

I own and use both, but if I had it to do all over again I would buy another 650.

The case feeder for the 550 works as advertised. I use the one size for all

38's,

45's and 44-40 will work with the same conversion kit

45 ACP

The 45 Cowboy will use the 45's ramp and the 45 acp tube ( my terminology may be off from theirs )

 

 

If your happy with the 550 and dont want to spend the extra on the 650 then yes it is good.

Have had mine for 4 years now.

It works flawlessly (as usual for Dillon)

Vastly increases output.

 

Would recommend only 2 things:

 

Purchase a 3/16 BALL-END allen wrench or screwdriver style of at least 6 inches long to do the platform alignment.

Either grow another arm or have a helper to hold the shell pusher back while you try to attach the pusher assembly. I used those zip type wire ties and anchored it to one of the 3 screws on the assembly.

 

Don't forget that the small vs large case feeder plates are not determined the same way primers are. 38 special uses the LARGE plate.

 

You will enjoy it.
