SDB vs RL550B strong mounts

[njl]

I was looking at the catalog and SDB instructions...and I'm wondering, is the SDB strong mount just the RL550b strong mount plus an adapter plate? I'm wondering, because I have an RL550b on a strong mount, and I wonder, if I were to pick up an SDB, how difficult it'd be to swap out the press (rather than have them both mounted).

If it's a bigger deal to swap presses than primer systems, I should probably just stick to just the RL550B.

The sideplates are the same for both the 550 and the SDB strongmounts. The SDB mount adds the top plate, the 550 mount adds the loaded cartridge chute/bracket.

So, without disturbing the 550 strong mount, can the RL550B be unbolted and an SDB with adapter plate be installed...or would the 550's loaded cartridge chute get in the way, and the brass & loaded cartridge bins be improperly positioned?

I should probably just stick to the one press

Hello: I am not sure that the 550 and the SDB have the same footprint on the table with the mounts attached. Mr Dillon should be able to answer that for us Thanks, Eric

The footprint on the benchtop is within 1/16th"- the mount sideplates have enough flex to accomidate this. the 550 chutebracket would need to be removed to accomidate the SDB.
