I got the same problem with a lot of videos. Guy spends 5 or 6 minutes talking about what he will be talking about. That just drives me crazy. Another of my favorites is just a shot of a table top, with 2 hands waving around and somebody yammering about something that isn't there. I have plenty of opportunity to hear myself talk, why should anyone else have to suffer through it? Keep the peace.

Looks pretty much the same, which is a plus as far as I am concerned. Full disclosure, though, I deprime all my brass on a different press, wet tumble the brass, so I don't get any primer residue on my 550.Good enough! I wasn't aware that the primer is picked up by the same rod that will insert it....looks clean enough. So what about it 550 owners? Same thing or same but different? What's the weakness in the primer slide that is disagreeable to some 550 owners? Looks like a pretty clean design to me.....at least the slide doesn't break.

The 550 primer system appears to be the same as the 750, from what I can see in the video (GREAT vids, btw, keep up the good work!!). On the 550 it works really well, especially if you keep it clean. There is an aftermarket 'bearing' upgrade that I have and it's improved the priming 'smoothness' and operation quite a bit... YMMV.
Difference, as stated, is *where* the priming happens in the cycle of the press. On the 750 it appears to be in station 2, which removes the 'dirty' issue of priming on the 550.
If I ever acquire the $$$, I'll be getting a 750 to add to my 550...

Could you elaborate on the aftermarket "bearing" upgrade for your 550? Are you referring to the bearing upgrade the 750 now already has, to smooth the plate rotation, or something else?
