My first 550B was bought used. I'm not sure of the age, 10 years or so?
The ram is getting very stiff ,especially in between uses. I lube the ram and linkages where the handle is connected to, but it barely helps . My powder measure is also the older style with the spring return, not the fail safe linkage.
Anyway, I called Dillon and they said they would take the press linkages apart and lube them for me. The price was about $68, which I thought was a bargain. I was expecting a lot more.
Has anyone had this done? I am also thinking about having them put on the failsafe kit for the newer style powder measure.....thoughts?
