This works well. It is sold as a grip strengthening putty for rock climbers.
Case Feeder for 550 B
in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment

Similar problems here. So count this as negative feedback since I have spent seven hours fighting the thing.
Where is your shellplate set? I find that looser causes less problems, but I've bent two decap pins due to case misalignment. I've also read the threads here and have adjusted the cam accordingly. Still, 40% of the time I must restroke halfway to position the case properly.
Additionally, the feed tubes were slightly too short and would come apart on the primer stroke. I had to shorten the mount tube to get the hopper low enough to prevent this from occurring. The primer chute had a screw that was too long and kept the case feed platform from laying flat. The primer chute spews spent primers all over the place, sometimes ending up where they foul the primer bar.
I can't recommend the device at this point having spent enough time dinking with it to have loaded 2500 rounds on a straight 550B.
That said, I'm going to keep trying, but I am at a loss as to what I haven't tried at least five times.
