GR8GIFT Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Well got tired of trying to get my RL 550 to cycle smoothly it seems to have had a tuff time of it in storage. Couldn't seem to get it to move back off the priming station, I was having to manually pull the operating handle back so I could index the casings. So it's off to Dillon hopefully they'll receive it on the 10th and I'll get it back this month yet. Still have my 2 650's one each for small and large primers to load my 45's and 38's on. But I wanted to get the 550 going for other calibers. I have a complete quickchange set up for 9mm on the 650. Only one case feeder but I do have it setup so I can just move it over the the press I'm using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALBin517 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I have frequently wished that I could call a tech out to give my 550b a little tune-up. My 550b is the only press I have ever used so I often ask myself, "Is this normal?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 550b is the only press I have ever used so I often ask myself, "Is this normal?" Of course it's normal that you've only used a 550B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR8GIFT Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) Here is the information from Dillon reference RL 550 service. "It sounds like your loader is in need of lubrication is all. We charge $67.95 for clean and lube service, which includes return shipping in the 48 contiguous US. We strip it down, clean it in the solvent tank, inspect it; replacing all worn or damaged parts (missing parts are not covered) and then re-lube and reassemble it. Typical In-house turnaround time is about 2 weeks." If this information will help you my press was not operating well and had been dropped/knocked over by one of our curious cats during a reorganizing move to a different bench. Got to love cats who think they need to rub up against and check out everything you are working with. They gave me a RMA number to return the press when they heard it had been dropped and possibly froze up. They received it the 10th so I will be looking to get it back in a couple of weeks.

h4444 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I just had this done with my 550, when it came back it literally was like having a new press. Mine was stored poorly for about five years and it is better than ever when it came back. Dillon is great to work with ad I am very happy with what they did it was worth it.

Greg in VA Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Wonder what they charge to do a 1050..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillon Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Cost for an RL or Super 1050 is $185 plus the cost of any major parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Cost for an RL or Super 1050 is $185 plus the cost of any major parts. IMHO - Hell of a bargain at that...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
