550b case feeder
Quote from Reloader on February 9, 2011, 10:10 pmIs anyone else having problems loading on the 550
with a caliber that the case feeder will not feed?
The case ram is in the way and I have to remove
the ram assy. to load things like 380 auto
and 223 and so on.
I am looking at getting a new press so I can load
outher calibers that the case feeder will not.

This gives you more room to insert cases into the shellplate. .380 ACP will be a pain, but rifle work fine.

Quote from Reloader on September 9, 2017, 12:40 amMy apologies,
1) remove some of the plastic so that the casefeed adapter rides lower to keep from the casings binding.
2) Get a 2nd plunger and then you will need to taper the plunger so that it won't hit the 2nd casing above the one in the channel.
3) you need a #3 locator slotThere's a video about it now.
