I finally broke down and bought a Dillon 550b. I originally purchased the Lee Classic Cast Turret and will not be getting rid of it, I just got very frustrated with the priming system and 4 pulls per round.
It appears the ram has some lube from the factory, but I'm not sure how much. The ram make a high pitch rasping sound when I move the ram. It is smooth, but I get the impression it is dragging. Just wondering if this is normal on a new 550b and if i needed to lube it with 30 weight oil.
Also, I'm having a problem with the indent ball under the shell plate. I can't get the star to spin smoothly and the indent ball will only sometimes click into place. I was thinking I needed to lubricate the shell plate bolt and the indent ball with some light grease. Before I made a mess with grease I wanted to see what the experts thought.
