I want to say thanks and that I appreciate all the information that that has been passed down. I worked with Hornady customer service for a good hour. The best they can do with my stage 1 problem is send me a another shell plate. I dont believe that will fix it. A lot of time was spend on trying to get the ptx die to work and still nothing but a headache with that. One piece of brass and the rotor is perfect. Next piece of brass the rotor goes all the way up bottoms out and hits the back of the powder funnel. I will take a little more time with them to mess with it. In my opinon though when I look at how much time and tweaking you have to do with the machine the less time your making ammo. If it's more of the same drama tomorrow then I think I am at the point of returning it and saving a little more money up and going a different way. It concerns me that there are so many tweaks mods and fixes. When I setup my 550 it just worked. Not trying to insult the press there are many using it and loving it. I just have not been that lucky.
Thanks
