Need Help putting together my new Dillon 550B

[jtown9guy]

I just got my Dillon 550B and the instructions are not so easy for me...I know I am getting old...But..Here is my question if anyone would help.

When I inset the shell plate bolt it keeps turning as I index and then tightens itself after about 4 turns. I loosen it up and start all over again and it does the same thing. Doesn't seem to matter how loose I get it. I once again tighen it up and then back off a turn till it will index and then the problem starts all over again.

Any help would be appreciated. I know I am probably doing something wrong that is simple ...but???

Raise the main shaft and there should be brass set screw in the side of the shaft that holds the bolt in place. This prevents the bolt from turning.

This guy's videos are actually pretty good, he demos the reloading process and how to put it together. I just bought a 550B and I am going to use this as a supplement to the manual.

This is your answer. Left side of the main shaft is a small set screw you need to tighten.
