Dillon RL 550 problem

?? What would happen in the case would be resized all the way to the base.

I am going to assume you meant to ask, "What would happen 'if' the case would be resized to the base". I have answered those questions many times, I had a reloader/collector/shooter send me his dad's die with a 30/06 case stuck in it. It meant nothing but he was from Bradford Pa. He signed up to become a member on a reloading forum to get the benefit of the total sum of its knowledge. I asked him if he would work with me off-line.

He sent me the die with the stuck case, I made a case puller and then pulled the case. By this time, he had purchased another die set, had he not replaced the die I was going to send him one.

His die was identical to my 3 RCBS 30/06 die that keeps ever case that is stuck into them for sizing.

And then there was another, it belongs to a member of this forum or Accurate Shooters, that made the total of 5 sets of dies that would qualify as a super set of small base dies.

I have wasted my time recommending reloaders 'measure' the die by placing the case head into the die first and then someone on this forum makes a blanket statement 'He don't like RCBS dies because they have a small opening". I doubt he found die set #6, had he found die set #6 the case would still be in it.

There are dies that work better on a progressive press. For one, the cases can be rocking a bit as they enter the die. A flared die mount helps there.

Tighten down the desk to the cases won't Rock. That's an easy fix

The cases rock on the shell plate as the 550 moves it around.

Not if properly secured, of course there is some movement but not enough to effect reloading, dies, spilled powder etc. Of it is, you don't have the shell plate secured properly.

I do not do any fancy reloading on a progressive press of any kind; I start with sizing. And then there are dies that are different, the difference has nothing to do with sizing.

I do not remember how but all of the auto indexing presses have an auto indexing system.

Who'da thunk it?

alignment

I re-aligned the unit with the alignment tool that aligned it with the first time...Second times a charm. Go figger!
