Thanks for the link

I'm back. I gave the RL550B back to the owner, and bought a RL550C last year for $300. Now when I get the snow shoveled, I may be able to setup the C press Oh, I just found my password, after moving back here last August with a wife

I just reset my password, and bought a 550C for $350 like new last week, so now I have 2 550's, one a B, one a C.

That's what I thought. Powder, Primers and Bullets

John wants to spend some money to feel good about his contribution to the reloading process. He also brought 2 Rockchucker II's up and lots of dies as it is. I sold off my Lee presses after that.

I have custody of a friend's RL550B, it works good, no issues I aware of. It has about 10,000 rounds loaded on it.I don't think anythings wrong. John said he'd pay for shipping and whatever expense needed to get it reconditioned and updated. It doesn't have the zerk fittings on the pivot points the new model has. I think I heard those mentioned somewhere He thinks it was bought from Dillon around 1988 ish and sat in his living room for 10 years in the box.

Not in my experience

I have noticed this and just had to wonder why?

I've used Devcon in the prototype tooling industry. It works great, unaffected by temperature extremes. It has a lot of cyanide in it also.

I "accidentally dropped" some nasty crimped in berdan primer 556 foreign brass at the local outdoor range. The brass collectors/resellers jumped on it as they thought it came out of my AR. I usually recycle it, but this was for fun.

There's a PVC fix for that at cast boolits I went and ordered a M die. I 'll resize on the RCBS RS3,then use the 9mm M die in station 1,then I'll raise up the powder funnel a bit to clear the M dies work. The 9mm powder funnel in .353" dia, the 124 Dardas are .3565 to .357", I see almost .004" swaging effect and leading with that setup. I would have tried the 357 M die,but it's set already in the Hornady L'n'L bushing. Just like the RONCO rotisserie,set it and forget it. The RONCO thing actually works well.

Thanks dillon for the answer

Did you happen to read all of the OP? The part where I posted that on page 9 it mentions the primer bar comes to mind.

The press came with missing parts my friends wife made disappear . So I ordered a large powder bar and conversions. Now I read to page 9 of the manual stating that the press came with a large primer bar installed. To go to small primers I need to install the small pistol bar. That's MIA. I noticed there is only one part number for the primer bar. Is it safe to ASSUME the small primer bar and large primer bar are the same,minus the small parts? I want to change out the primer cup with the spare small primer cup that came in the spare parts kit.. Will that work? I also read I think to clean off the baseplate with a green scotchbrite pad? I can see the case head impression in the gunk. I noticed the bolt holding down the star carrier and conversion was loose,maybe that's why he was having issues before he gave up on it and dropped it off on my bench and drove home 200 miles.

What constitutes old I'm 33 and I do it all the time. I think it has to do with working in the gasoline/oil industry for the past 7 years. Double Nickel
