[QUOTE="Cowcatcher, post: 4178433, member: 43171"] Like mentioned above get a manual for the 550 if it doesn’t come with one. If this guy had $50k in reloading stuff there should be a very very large amount of stuff. Unless of course he way over payed or that’s a number the fella just threw out at whoever told you that. Anyhow what I’m saying is if there’s that much money in reloading stuff I’m sure he didn’t just have a bare bones 550. When you move the press you very well might lose some small pieces like buttons and toolhead pins. Also the press could very well be still loaded with primers. I’d check the vertical black tube before you go to tilt twisting it and moving it unless you wanna chase primers. Look for anything in small blue plastic boxes. The contents in these boxes I mention could be dies or conversion kits. Look for toolheads. They’ll be an aluminum square shaped block with 4 threaded holes that hold dies. Also be on the lookout for silver tubes with little plastic tips on them (pickup tubes and mag tubes for primers). If you don’t get a bunch of small parts with the press (could be in a bag or in a blue box) then I suggest you order a “Dillon 550 spare parts kit”. It’ll have all the little parts that may shutdown a reloading session. Post up some pics of the haul when you get it home and I among others can see what you may or may not need. [/QUOTE]
