Dillion 550 reloading press upgrades?

[Jeff43]

Has anyone did the upgrade to their 550 press,new pins with the grease "zerks" and the different frame? Mine has none of that.
I guess you'd have to either buy all the stuff or send it on for a rebuild ,which I guess they charge for .Anybody know?

The only upgrades that my 550B has are UniqueTek micrometers for one each small and large powder bars and the low primer warning buzzer. No idea if they charge for a rebuild but I'd be shocked if they did.

A place called Entirely Crimson makes some cool upgrades for Dillion presses.

I bought the new frame a few years ago and swapped it out on mine. I found a good video of the swap on youtube and watched it a few times before I started taking mine apart.

did you decide on the upgrade?

I Gotcha, it definitely is an improvement.

Mines only a couple years old so it has most if not all of the factory upgrades. This past weekend I added the primer track bar upgrade with ball bearing, but haven't loaded with it since.
