Well, once you have the shell plate full, you get a completed round every time you click it (advance it). 500 clicks, 500 pulls of the handle ... 500 rounds.
Sorry, your right.
I went full rotations.
So it would be 505

With a 550 you only click the plate 128 times for 500 rounds.
550 cheaper and faster caliber changes.

I am wondering why keep the 550. Any opinions?
My thought here (being a 550 fanboy)
The qusetion you have to ask yourself is
"Do I feel lucky"
No thats not it. I reload a lot of off the wall outdated and or military rounds. So far my 550 has been doing it and a caliber swap in quik & easy. But if you only load a limited amount of calibers you might not need it.
The only thing better than a 550 is two 550's, one in large primer and one in small.

it is my feeling that if your really loading in volumes that warrant a case feeder it is really time to step up to a 650 with case feeder.
IMHO the best part of the 550 is that it is so dead simple.

First find out if it is brass or copper/lead.
If brass, your bell is too large.
If copper, bell is too small or you are using a seating/crimping die and crimping before seated.

I was able to a bag full of cotter pins a hair large (diameter) than original, drilled it, and replace it every so often.

I keep mine as straight as possible

Hi All
I was wondering what folks felt would be a good price for a used 550B
Seller says its in good shape, it comes with a conversation kit for 45 ACP but no dies, basically a stock set up
The person is asking $300
Price seems good. If it has all the original parts.
-
Some how a case feeder on a 550 seems a little silly.
Just get a 650
-
I agree with the others, powder usually just crushes.

Hey guys,
None of the local health food or vitamin stores carries lanolin oil. Most of the online vendors are flaky hippie companies that don't track stock and/or have really slow shipping. I have a batch coming from Web Vitamins via Amazon. It took three (3) days for my order to leave their dock! Anyone have a recommendation for a good, reliable hippie company with actual stock on hand and fast shipping?
Thanks.
Would a paste work for you?
The hornady lube and 91% alcohol is what I have been using and it works great

I call it good with the outside edge having a curve and no gas comming thru.

I make my own

550 will load almost everything, rifle & pistol. Quick and low cost caliber swaps.

Tighten it up. When I first put mine on had the same problem.

Have you tried the plumbing section of the hardware store? They may have a PVC adapter that may work?
