    Need reloading Help

    I just set up my Dillon 550b and I'd like for someone with more experience to show me the ropes sometime this weekend. I set up the rig and adjusted all the dies but I'm just scared to start loading live rounds without a more seasoned person's oversight.
    I'm in Rancho Cucamonga, will buy you lunch/beers.
    Thanks in advance.

      Call Dillon Tech Support ...

      My shooting buddies and I all use the Dillon RL550. If your machine isn't setup right it's easy to have some interesting screw-ups. This Custom case was wrecked by not adjusting the powder measure height (after switching heads) to make load another caliber.


      Feel free to call Dillon tech support. They provide some of the very best product support anywhere in the industry, and they've already seen every way their 550B press can be incorrectly adjusted.

        check youtube, there are some how to videos there. Wait a little longer someone while chime in and be nice enough to show you the ropes

          I'm mainly worried about the primer and powder setup aspect, it would make me a bit more comfortable if I had hands on oversight, but if nobody is willing I guess i will have to resort to the tech support.

                        I'm sure someone will help you out. Too bad you're in Socal, I wouldn't mind helping. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me as I'm on a 550 also.

                          Thanks for the support guys, despite having to mess with the Primer feeder for a few hours, because it would not align with the tube right, therefore not feeding any primers, I was able to load 100 rounds with no problem at all, haven't had a chance to shoot it but cannot wait.
                          Thank you all for your offers and guidance.

                            You should have received some alignment tools with your press. The Dillon press comes with (2) large steel pins that are used to setup your machine when switching from LP to SP primers.
