Thanks Dirty Rod. I expected as much, with concern of using any type of lubricant around powder assembly, and causing clumping issues while metering.

I've been reloading for 4 or 5 years now, and have worked my way up from a RCBS RockChucker for everything to the RockChucker for rifle and a Redding T-7 for my handgun rounds. Over that time I have developed a couple of loads that work well in my handguns, and when the opportunity came up recently, I picked up a used but in great condition RL550B with 9mm coversion. The Dillon has now replaced the Redding T-7 on my bench, but before I get to making ammo, I wanted to make sure I give the press a once over. Watched a couple of YouTube videos for primer assembly swapping and caliber conversion swapping to get familiarized with basic assembly/disassembly. The press I have while it looks new, must be older as it doesn't the grease fitting zerk on the ram body, so will lubricate the ram with 10w30 as I have read recommended, and will wipe the sliding primer assembly with some Super Lube Dri-lube, apply some light grease to the holes on the pivoting arms, wipe down under shellplate with dri-lube, and put dab of grease under head of shell-plate bolt. One question I had; should I wipe any of the sliding powder assembly (maybe sides) with dri-lube? Anyother pre-operation tips/suggestions, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello all, Have heard about the Brian Enos forum for awhile now, and since I recently transitioned from a Redding T-7 turret to a Dillon RL550B--figured it was a good time to join and learn some more. Been scanning through prior posts, and watching some YouTube videos, but might still have a question or 2. Not new to reloading as I have been doing it for a few years now, and got into casting my own bullets last year. Which comes in handy passing the winter months in Maine. Novalty
