SmokeyB Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I have looked at the Uniquetek tool head modification kit and do not understand how it works. Someone please explain, for the life of me this concept of screwing a screw to the tool head which than floats?? into the press frame reminds me a little of someone trying to pull themselves up by their bootstraps? I am missing something here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMC Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 If you're talking about the clamp kit it's made to keep the head in the same place to give more consistency to the overall length. I use it on my 223 tool head and it does help. I don't use it for pistol ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeyB Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Thank you I now understand the tool head actually screws into the press via some heater coils? that would fasten it and improve things somewhat. Anyway thanks I can now understand how it works-I re-load for .223 so I will order one for that caliber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianTN Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Here are pictures of the clamp kit installed on the Whidden billet toolhead: Keep in mind the billet toolhead had everything already installed, and you simply screw the two screws into the toolhead instead of using the two pins from Dillon. Not exactly what you are looking for, but hopefully it will help some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARKAVELI Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Does anyone know if its worth getting for the RL550B (for 223}? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeyB Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 I use the 550B for .223 and find it absolutely amazing. I think I like the semi automatic press as well as the fully progressive ones. I have a Hornady AP and it is fine but the Dillon 550B beats it for any caliber. Yes maybe a little slower because you feed and progress by hand but it is frankly more accurate (you check each step because of the hand indexing) and not noticeably slower. I do not have to make fine adjustments, it is always good to go. I guess the short answer is yes do it for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mush from PA. Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) A Dillon 550 thread in the Non-Dillon section. Hmmm - - Does this mean I should post Hornady LNL comments in the Dillon section??Or is this a non-Dillon part installed on a Dillon? Can it be installed on any other press? Edit: I see it can be installed on RCBS also - nevermind.... Edited January 28, 2012 by Mush from PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfipilot Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I also use this on my 650 for all my toolheads, its great OAL is consistant now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfort Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) Has anyone had issues with the flange being too thick on these toolheads to fit the slot on a 650? Also, would you use them for pistol, if not, why? Edited February 20, 2012 by sfort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
