Two questions about the Dillon 550b.
First, is there any reason why it can't be used to make a single bullet at a time? If so, and I don't see any reason why it's not possible, my relative can pay attention to a single bullet as it makes its way through the machine.
(I thought of this, because it's what I plan to do with my RCBS Pro2000; for a while, loading one bullet at a time, and getting a feel for the press.)
Second question.
My relative bought two die plates, so he can switch back and forth. He also bought two powder dispensers, so they can be set for the specific bullet to be made with those dies.
In his words:
As i recall, there was a linkage with springs, etc., that looked like it could be removed as an assembly very easily, but we couldn't figure out a way to do so, other than taking the bottom end of the rod completely apart. Can this be done more easily? Anyone know of a video that shows how to do it?

In his words:
I need to learn the PROPER method of disengaging it, so changing to the 2nd set of dies is easy.
