Quick and easy primer size swap on Dillon 550

Was playing around with my 550 press, trying to figure an easier way to swap between primer sizes. I think I succeeded. I searched and could not find this method online anywhere. Maybe someone else figured this out, but they did not post a video that I can find. I timed this, and the complete swap can be done in less than 60 seconds.

That is indeed a time saver. Many thanks for sharing it!

 

I like it! Thanks for putting that together.

That's very clever! Thx for sharing...

 

Sometimes the answer is to close to my face to see it... thanks for sharing!

 

Going to have to try that one. I can swap out primer sizes in just under 2 minutes changing out the primer bar and removing the whole tube assembly and switching everything. Never thought of this way!

 

Awesome tip! Thanks for sharing that.

 

I was doing that before the internet, still bought another dedicated machine for each size.
It does work.

 

I'm going to try that the next time I swap the priming system over.

Thanks for the tip.

 

Fantastic tip. Thanks for sharing that.

 

Like X-rap I have multiple presses. No switcho-changeo any more.
