Primer Parts ???
Quote from Reloader on October 10, 2010, 10:21 pmProud and lucky new owner of a 550 press thanks to my dad. He gave me his after it has been sitting in his basement for 20+ years unused.
Anyway. It is missing the following, that I can tell.
Primer magazines (sm and lg)
Primer pickup tubes (sm and lg)
Primer Follower 13707
Primer Alarm 20302Many questions, and please bear with me. Many of these questions are directed towards dillon personnel.
1. Do you really need the Alarm??
2. Do you really need the follower??
3. Dillon website shows item 22030/22031 as replacement primer magazine. Do you need to buy the tips separate or does it come with the 22030/22031.
4. Same question as 3, but for the p/u tubes. Does 22028 come with 13999, 14040 and 17086, et al??Sorry. I really want to make use of this superb press (upgrading from single stage after many many years).
Thanks, Gary

Quote from Reloader on October 11, 2010, 2:18 pmThe alarm and follower, while not mandatory, are very useful. There is no way to know when you are about to run out of primers without one, and the added weight of the plastic follower rod ensures reliable primer feeding without presenting a hazard for accidently detonating primers as a metal rod would.
All magazine and pickup tubes are complete with whatever tips, clips, etc they require.
