    I'm running 4.6gr WST under Zero 230gr FMJ 1.245 and .469 crimp. Very accurate and smooth in my 1911's and my G21.

    I'm going to try Zero 230gr Hollow Point next. Any one have any WST load data to share on that?

    XL650 Help

    No. Didn't completely tear it down yet. Took off the shellplate and looked around

    Only made about 300 rounds do far. Looks like I'll be very familiar with the machine soon. Lol

    I do notice that the position 1 locator(the silver thing the case slides in) rocks up and down

    XL650 Help

    Hoping you guys can help me out. I'm new to reloading and this is my first press. I've spent 2 days trying to fix this.

    In a nut shell, my press won't index. The pistol slide(position 1) gets

    hung up on the locator(silver slide case slides on). If I manually free it to slide over the locator to the shellplate the ram goes up and

    down but shell plate won't advance. I can not advance it manually either.

    I've tried loosening/tightening shell plate.

    All began when my spent primer shoot clogged and spent primers built up

    and wedged in between the pocket in position 1 and the shell plate

    locking the press. I cleared the primers but now the cases won't advance

    into the shell plate and the black slide gets hung up on the locator#1.

    The shell plate also will not advance to next station.

    I'm wondering if the locator is damaged slightly preventing the case insert slide to bind. But once freed the plate still doesn't advance.

    Any help is greatly appreciated so I can get back up and running.

    LED light for 550B

    For those of you that would like to light up the inside of your 550B so you can see whats going on, especially the powder charge, i have found the perfect light. I contacted Inline Fabrications, who make Egro handles and other accessories for Dillon Presses. They also have LED strip lights for various presses. I sent an email asking if the strip lights would fit the 550. They have a new one out that isn't on their site yet. It fits into the center hole of the tool head. It has an on off switch and let me tell you, it REALLY lights up the inside of the press well. You could turn off all other lights in the room and still see and reload. No trouble seeing the powder in your case. It's one of the best add-ons i have for my press. If your interested, send them an email or call. It's a well thought out design. Check it out !!

    Can you post pictures of your set up with the light? Sounds great.

    Primer Tube Filler

    in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment

    Posted · Edited by Atlas

    Oh, rest assured they work great. They only vibrate so primers move towards the drain into a tube. You have to put them in the filler oriented correctly. They don't flip for you.

    Ahh, got it. That explains it. Then $75 seems a bit steep. Lets see when the actually start shipping out

    Sarge: Thank you sir for the video.

    Wonder if you can use the Dillon tubes and fill a few up.
