550 Maintenance
Quote from Reloader on July 2, 2008, 2:56 pmIs there any regular maintenance I should be performing on my press? After I finish a 50-100 round session, I normally raise the shellplate and wipe the primer bar spacer with a dry rag (blast the area and the around the shellplate with compressed air). Is there anything else I should be doing that will prevent any operational issues in the future?
Great customer service as your phone rep helped me determine that my crimp die for my .45 head was not down enough. (Sorry, don't remember his name) But he was great. It was my first caliber changeover.
Dillon, do you still have Corgis? I miss mine of 15+ years. Thanks for a great product and service.

Once or twice a year put a few drops of 30 wt motor oil on the main ram, and every 5000 or so rounds detach the primer feed from the machine, scrub the bottom of the primer slide and top of the frame with steel wool/scotchbrite, then wipe these surfaces off with solvent.
I still have a pembroke welch corgi, named "Ein", after the corgi dog in the Japanese anime "Cowboy Bebop". Chubby, loves to eat, wonderful dog.
