From the start, the large primer system has been my continuing headache. After using the 550B to load 45 acp for the first time about a year ago, I changed the original plastic tip on the primer pickup tube after running an alcohol patch... http://www.dillonprecision.com/Gun_and_camera_control-98-19-1776.htm http://www.dillonprecision.com/Gun_and_camera_control-98-19-1776.htm Sun, 13 Jan 2013 13:44:37 -0700 I posted a petition at the White House website.

I am using 3.5 grains of 231 behind a 147 grain plated bullet, also using Winchester small primers. The crimp is .379 and the OAL is 1.504. Gun is an S&W model 15. Since I am just putting holes in... http://www.dillonprecision.com/550B_caliber_change-98-10-1536.htm http://www.dillonprecision.com/550B_caliber_change-98-10-1536.htm Mon, 25 Jun 2012 10:53:39 -0700 I changed from 45 acp to 9mm. I purchased the quick change package so that all I needed to do was replace the completely setup tool head, switch from large to small primers, change the shell plate and locator pins. I had the 9mm setup for .380 crimp at the mouth and had done 500 rounds at that... http://www.dillonprecision.com/550B_large_primers-98-10-1526.htm http://www.dillonprecision.com/550B_large_primers-98-10-1526.htm Sat, 16 Jun 2012 13:11:54 -0700 I switched my 550B from 9mm to 45acp. When using the large primer pickup tube, about the fifth primer would block the tube. I would dump the primers and start again, usually with success. I finally changed the plastic tip and that helped but still on occasion have the problem. When I drop the... http://www.dillonprecision.com/RCBS_bullet_puller-98-10-1520.htm http://www.dillonprecision.com/RCBS_bullet_puller-98-10-1520.htm Sat, 09 Jun 2012 04:45:31 -0700 Does an RCBS bullet puller thread into a 550B tool head? I know you aren't suppose to make that many mistakes but I found out late in the game that plated bullets are more sensitive to casing belling. They have a tendency to curl if all is not well. Thanks http://www.dillonprecision.com/Reloading_38_spec-98-16-1500.htm http://www.dillonprecision.com/Reloading_38_spec-98-16-1500.htm Tue, 08 May 2012 06:29:44 -0700 I am thinking of loading 38 spec plated round nose 147 grain bullets with no cannelure. I have the Dillon 38 special die set I bought last fall. Is the lack of a bullet cannelure a problem? Thanks
