I got my 550b and I have had trouble with powder leaking out of the powder die.
I went over to the Dillion forum and everyone was talking the same stuff.Polishing the funnel
scotchbrite the powder bar.using dryer sheets to kill static electricity.ok.I took my Dillion powder measure
apart all the way apart.I polished everything to a mirror shine.used the anti static.watched the instuction
video.change to ball powder and it still leaked powder.I called Randy at Dillion he asked all the same questions
so they are sending a replacement powder measure.And that is great however,I didnt want to polish the
new measure and go through all this again.I ordered a Hornady case activated lock and load measure.This set up works
no leaks and throw stick powder no problem stays within .1 grains I couldnt believe it.I only ;oad .308
so I had to have a measure that wasnt fussy.Here are some picks of my setup.I modified the hornady
with a powder bottle installed a baffle I can run 2.5 lbs of powder.
