acpie360 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I reloaded 400 rounds of 9mm using assorted range brass. I got 10 pieces of brass that were crushed on the second station. I've been using my 550B for about a year now and this is the first time seeing this problem. What can cause this? The powder funnel looks clean though...

kneelingatlas Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Do you load more than one caliber on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atbarr Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Just tighten down the shellplate bolt a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob DuBois Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Call Dillon for an alignment tool. Machine may be out of time just a little. Just went through this on my 650. Have one of the first 550b's it will need a alignment check after a few years of use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acpie360 Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Hey, guys, thanks for the replies. The set screw that holds the shellplate bolt did feel a little bit loose, giving perhaps too much spacing between the shellplate and the platform. I readjusted the gap and tried a few pieces of brass. I can only say they all felt right at this moment. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
