Dillon 550 question...
my 550 ram is dragging some (hopefully not galling). I've cleaned and oiled it per Dillon's video instructions but this time it's not working as well.
Anyone ever taken the ram apart? It's an older model that doesn't have the zerk style grease fittings. I'm tempted to send it back to Dillon for a good once over and upgrade. Any idea what the backlog tends to run for that? I hate being down on my only progressive press.
I can ask Dillon of course but it's the holidays and their email is running about a week behind.
