Yes, because it is a pain in the ass to brake down 500 rounds of anything!
Ask me how I know.

Everyone wants to crank out the volume when first starting it's natural and so are the do overs

Not that many but 100 was not pleasant and the names I called myself redoing all those rounds

came back form out of town work.
clean the main shaft with alcohol to clean out the old dry oil.
don't have motor oil so used for the moment 3in1 that I had handy.
couple stroke and it was free...
I tried to take out the Main Shaft Pivot Pin and couldn't.
it is very late now and don't want bang and weak up the whole family..
will try tomorrow morning..

one odd thing:
there was no primer track bearing/plate when I removed the priming system... (ps: Just went to check the original manual and YES, it does not exist the plate for this unit release)
AND the surface where the primer slide sit on is uneven... it seemed the CNC was not done correctly


I think this RL 550 is the very first batch out from Dillon in 1983 Oct 31st (original shipping box's mail stamp)
will try to add picture later on...

So contacted Dillon:
- will send primer slide bearing
- RMA powder measure, since it cannot be upgraded onto the new style with fail check

Shipping fees is about $25.69 US fo General purchase small box I guess.

$45US cost to upgrade the pins with grease connect
Will be shipping out the powder measure.
