9x45 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 yup, had this press since day one. But the cardboard catch box finally disintegrated. So I made a major upgrade. Old unused transmission funnel and some 3/4 heater hose. Top of the line now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFLcavediver Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Nice tape rack. Everything has to be a multitasker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youngeyes Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Nice tape rack. Everything has to be a multitasker. Speaking of multitasking, if you change the end of that hose you can use the setup to help with constipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x45 Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 It just keeps getting better. Dr. Proctology got me to thinking. The plastic funnel is all hard, and sharp, no self respecting practitioner would use that. So I replaced it a nice soft rubber one, FloTool at Pep Boys, $4. Lines up the chute just right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david8989 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 So being new to my Dillon 550B and only having loaded about 1000rds on it. Why aren't yall using the included completed bullet shoot that comes with the press? I've only had 1 out of 1000 rounds hop out of the chute.

9x45 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 The old 550's Pre-B didn't have a chute, nor a positive powder drop return spring. In fact we were still loading 3FFF black powder back then.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S391 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Brilliant!!! Pep Boys is opening a new store near my home... Now I have a reason to stop in. Thank you!!! It just keeps getting better.

ZackJones Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Found one on Amazon that looks like it would work. It's even blue. http://www.amazon.com/Hopkins-FloTool-10709-Spill-Funnel/dp/B000EH4V18/ref=sr_1_5?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1449661586&sr=1-5&keywords=flotool+funnel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
