[Bullet Feeder & Station 3 on RL 550B]

i would like to down the road , but for now i have case feeder and six caiber conversions .

[Bullet Feeder & Station 3 on RL 550B]

No such thing as a carbide taper crimp and seating die. Carbide is used in sizing dies and the much debated Pistol Carbide FCD (which does not seat bullets).

thanks for the info , then i guess when the die closes the flare on case mouth in seating and taper crimp it doesn't stick or hang up ?

[Bullet Feeder & Station 3 on RL 550B]

Seating and crimping at the same time can work ok with jacketed but may not work very well with lead, just have to try and see.

Greg

i didn't think about lead,as fori have been shooting jacketed. thanks food for thought.

[Bullet Feeder & Station 3 on RL 550B]

[Gun Crafters G.I. 50 Cal.]

50GI is too large in diameter to drop through the red adapter.The yellow adapter has the correct inside diameter, but the window in the front is too tall. Suggest you open up the ID of the red funnel to allow the case to pass through. Once the case gets to the station one locator ramp it will feed into the shellplate just fine.

thanks alot for the info,will do that i would have been po if i was ready to run a batch and think everything is ready and run into that problem.

[load development]

thanks guys i will use that aproach and go from there.and see which loads work best for me. i'am sure some loads will be mor accuate then others provided i'am accuate shooting them.

I was wondering if any of you guys reload the gun crafters g .i. 50 cal on your rl 550 b press i have a friend who was able to turn me a powder funnel for my press and found out on the forum that the 45 acp adpter tube for the case feeder is red so with that and the 45 acp shell plate i am going to reload some 50cal for ranger plinking. it so happens i pick up the slide on auction cheap ,which it goes right om my glock 20.

[casefeeder conversion 45acp tube ?]

[RL 550 B Primer Catch Modification]

Hi guys check the tips and tricks and didn't fine what i am looking for,was wondering if anyone knows if there is a mod. you can do or buy for the 550 primer catch like they did for the 650,know 650 is set up different but it is a pain when the primers are popping on the floor and bench not all the time but very offen. did the safty pin thing and it helps but there got to be a better way.

[Redding Seating die]

Yes theses are the micrometer dies he has and i think i will purchase them from him.i like the idea of fine tuning the oal.even if they don't work out for me i can always resell them ,and go back to my dillon. yes i do change or try different bullets to see what works for me best.i only target shoot at the range. but i sure love working with the reloader when i get a chance.

[Redding Seating die]

Hi guys would i be wasting my money if i purchased the redding seating dies for my 9mm and 10mm from my brother inlaw or should i just stick with my dillon dies. all i really do is target shoot,i really don't see any advantage for me as for i reload range brass but i also have new starline 10mm. please give me your opinion.

[If Dillon was Smart, They Would.........]

I purchased the DVD, but I learned more from youtube.

i have to agree with you 100% purchased DVD but learned more about it on youtube,great set up videos
