I bought a used dillon 550b and there is a piece it appears is missing in my setup. Im wondering if anyone can take pictures of the 550b where the lever hooks up to the powder charger and to the shell holder area. I tried to look at a few other pics of them and went to the site and couldnt really scrounge anything up. I will get some pics of mine up as well to show everyone what im working with. If someone shows some pics I can tell what part is missing from mine.

Thanks everyone.

Thanks for that and im assuming RTFM is read the f(&*(&U(# material ...if thats the case then Im sorry Im not as smart as you are sir douche canoe. And obviously I said I couldnt find the exact part in that picture dillon provides. If rtfm means something nice and helpful then my appologies and thats what I get for assuming

hey queequeg can you take a picture of the lower part. Mine looks just a little different than that one pictured but I think the part may be missing from the lower section where it hooks up to the shell holder area.

RTFM means Read The effing Manual, the standard internet response for when someone didn't bother reading the manual first, not meant as an attack. See the picture on the cover of the manual and description on how to hook it up on page 12.

Page one of the following PDF is exactly like what I have, though I forgo the strong mount in favor of a big ass piece of Pine!

Perhaps you are referring to the bracket (Part # 13885) that the powder measure connecting rod attaches to which mounts below the shell holder plate?

I read the manual. As I said I couldnt find what I was looking for. I needed other peoples pictures thank you though. Next time you can refrain from acting like that and just simply help someone thats not as knowledgeable as you.
