Fig. 25 - Drop the primers into the primer magazine.
Once you've filled the pick-up tube, make sure the
little retaining clip is in place at the top of the tube.
Pivot the switch lever (#13864) away from the Early
Warning System housing. Invert the pick-up tube over
the knurled cap (#13957) of the primer magazine, Fig.
25. You will notice the cap has a bevel to help you
funnel the primers in. Hold the tube in place, pull the
retaining clip and allow the primers to drop into the
magazine. Pivot the switch lever back over the Early
Warning System housing. Gently slide the follower rod
down into the primer magazine tube until the follower
rod touches the primers.
When you are nearly out of primers (about three
left) the follower rod (#13707) will activate the buzzer.
A word of caution: primers are easily detonated,
sometimes by a remarkably light blow. Treat them as if
they are as fragile as eggs. Never force them.
At Last
If you've followed instructions, you are now ready
to load.
Many reloaders develop their own style when
using the RL 550B. But, let me explain the most
efficient method. Try it and later, if you want to make
changes in your technique, go ahead.
Place your bullets in a box to the left of the RL 550B
and the empty cases in a box to the right. A few extra
cartridge collection bins (#13839) are ideal for this.
You will notice an adjustable retaining spring at
Station One. This spring should be adjusted to almost
contact the case when it's placed in the shellplate.
Now, with your right hand, place a case in Station
One and smoothly pull the operating handle. This
resizes and decaps this case, at the same time your
primer slide should be automatically carried back to
the primer magazine, where it will pick up a primer.
Now, raise the handle smoothly. The primer slide
(#13920) will come forward with a primer and place it
under the deprimed case. If you are using the handle
gently, you will feel the primer contact the primer
pocket. Press forward firmly until the handle stops.
Your primer will now be seated.
Advance the case to the second Station by pressing
on the index sprocket (#13720) with your left thumb.
Place another empty case into Station One and pull the
operating handle. Station One will repeat as before.
Station number two will bell the case mouth and
dispense the powder. Again, raise the handle, index
with your thumb and place a bullet on the powder
charged case at Station Three with your left hand, Fig.
7. With your right hand, install a new case at Station
One and pull the handle. Stations one and two will
repeat as before.
Station Three will seat the bullet. Index with your
left thumb and put in a bullet. Put an empty case into
Station One with your right and operate the handle.
Stations one, two and three will repeat: Station Four
will have crimped the bullet. Index again and your first
completed round will tumble into the cartridge
collection bin. Now just add a bullet and a case. Each
time you operate the handle you'll get a loaded round.
Works good, right? If not, go back over the procedure.
If it's not right you need to do some...
Trouble Shooting
Use 30 weight motor oil on the main shaft and
bearing grease on the pivot pins. Do not use spray type
penetrating lube such as WD40 or Break Free as you
run the risk of contaminating powder and primers.
Problem One. Primers are not seated deeply
enough.
A. Shellplate too loose.
B. Shellplate upside down. You should be able to
see a stamped shellplate number facing up.
C. The crimp in the primer pockets of military brass
will cause this problem. Crimps can be easily removed
by use of a Dillon Primer Pocket Swage.
Problem Two. Erratic powder bar operation:
A. Turn the powder die (#20064) clockwise in one-
eighth turn increments. This will insure complete
powder bar activation.
B. Extruded pencil type powders will not flow
smoothly through smaller sized powder funnels
because of their length. Another problem with
extruded powders is getting them into small necked
cases. Many times these powders will "bridge" across
the case mouth and cause spillage and erratic charges,
There is no fast way of dispensing these powders and
if you insist on using them in small mouthed cases it
is best to weigh every charge by hand. Modern ball
type powders will do for most reloading situations.
These powders will do everything the pencil powders
