I was given a Dillion 550b. mine looks just like yours but the shell plate does not rotate automatically like yours. why is that? do you have an option installed that enables that.

@MsQuestor The primer size depends on the cartridge you are loading. For instance, .45ACP uses large pistol primers (though some now use small pistol primers!) and 9mm uses small pistol primers. He already showed in part 1 how to install the primer bar thing. You just need to unscrew the two screws that hold in that tall bar, lift it up, pull out the current primer bar and stick the new one in, then screw that tall thing back in. See the first video.

How do you determine if you are going to be using large or small primers? Hopefully you will come out with a video showing how to change the primer size.

p.s. great videos.

Nice job, Was cussing out my RL500 tonight trying to set it up for 30-06. With a real set of instructions like you provide in this video it all makes sense now.

Thanks

Seems like they could make a press gives you audible cues each time

Depends entirely on the caliber.
