I performed a search for any reviews or opinions on this subject and came up empty handed.
I have been looking at the shellplate bearing kit for the Dillon 550B that Hit Factor Shooting Supply sells on their website and on eBay. They claims it "removes the snap into position that causes powder to spill from cases." Personally I have never had powder spilled from the cases from moving the shellplate and having it "snap" into the next station.
I can really adjust my stock machine to go pretty smoothly. I'm also wondering if there is any "detent" or mechanical stop for each position or does the snellplate just free spin and you have to manually stop it at the exact location of the next station.
I like the idea of a bearing for smoothness, but don't know how big the benefit would be.
Has anyone here tried this kit? Likes, dislikes, ideas, opinions?
