[Dillon 550B Reloading Video]

I just bought a 550 last week and the video was not part of any package. I did buy the video and it is very good, but the video ws made in 1993, so it shows how to adjust the old dies anstead of the new. It also shows an older powder thrower design instead of the current design. in spite of these two things the video is still outstanding. I hope they update the video, they woud only have to re-shoot a couple of scienes to bring it up to date.

I also agree those youtube videos are excellent.

Here is a video of the second prototype. It is quicker, but I still wish the primer tray was bigger or square.

I dont know If I will use this or not, but it is fun to tinker.

Keep thinking, folks! Since the (square!) primer trays for the VP are still available, all we really need is a block that holds the tray and tube in alignment and provides a ( ) orfice for "something that vibrates".

What fun we can have.

Thanks!!!,

I didnt know you could still get parts for it. Monkeying with the small round Lee tray is a limitation, but it is all I had laying around.

I knew the vibraprime was probably better, but was not available.

Now that I know I can get the tray, I may get one to try.

I pointed out on another forum, that filling the tubes manually is not a big deal, I juts had an idea and tried it out. I really don’t know if I would replace the manual method with this method yet.

I bought my first Dillon from Brian Enos last week, I had it for a few days now and wanted a vibraprime. No one makes them anymore, so my wheels started turning.

Here is my first Dillon Video( I have a bunch of Loadmaster videos on youtube). I got an idea tonight to make a home made vibraprime out of a Lee Auto Prime and a vibrator. It worked! Here is a video to show how to make one yourself. I show it in use at the end of the video. I’m sure it is not as good as a real vibraprime, but for some reason they stopped making them.

Here is the link
