index sprocket ?
Quote from Reloader on November 13, 2015, 9:05 pmI have an older 550B (probably between 65000 and 100000 45acp rounds loaded) Recently, I have started having problems with the shellplate becoming hard to turn. I have isolated it down to the shellplate bolt. When I turn the index sprocket, It is causing the shellplate bolt to turn and tighten to the point where the plate won't turn. Do I need a new bolt or is there something I am not doing. I have gotten great service from the press for at least 10 years.
Thanks Bob
