What the Free-Float, Zero-Play Toolhead do?
This toolhead has lock rings that allow the sizer and seater dies to float. This floating action allows the dies to center themselves exactly over each cartridge for the best possible alignment and more concentric ammunition.

What is Zero Play? This toolhead does not use original toolhead pins supplied by dillon. This toolhed is bolted with two M3 bolts and lifts toolhead into upmost position. When you cycle cases downwards toolhead does not move and cases go out in straght line. Best practice is to loosen M3 bolts a little bit and push index shell-plate with case in to dies and tighten M3 bolts in toolhed best position.

What is concentricity and what does it matter? Concentricity refers to how straight the bullet is on top of the loaded round. A bullet that is straight will enter the rifling in the barrel that way. Bullets that enter the rifling slightly crooked do not shoot with their highest accuracy.

What’s wrong with using the OEM toolheads? The Dillon presses are great machines made to high quality standards. However, the cast toolheads have limitations. How do we know if the toolhead flange is flat? Or how do we know that each threaded station in the toolhead is in perfect alignment with the shellplate? How do we know that the stations are equally spaced? All of these areas compound for possible misalignments and lead to ammunition that isn’t quite as concentric as it could be. The toolhead is the final link between your dies and your press so it only makes sense that quality is extremely important. With over 100,00 EUR of dies, powder measure, and other accessories mounted in your toolhead, don’t you want to know it’s the best available!

What is different about the new CNC Machined Toolhead? These toolheads are made to the highest standards. The are CNC machined from 6082 aluminum, which is much stronger and has less flex than a cast toolhead. All critical dimensions are machined in a single operation, ensuring that all surfaces are true and aligned relative to each-other. The die holes are positioned with a very high degree of accuracy and the 7/8-14 threads are machined to tight tolerances for  precise fit and alignment, yielding dies that are more precisely centered in each hole and better aligned to the cartridge cases in the shellplate. The flange is also flatter than can be achieved with a cast toolhead.

• Made in Europe
• Include M3 bolts and hex key.
• Ready for Free-float rings.

Free-float rings are sold seperately. Usually you need two free-float rings. One for resize and other for bullet seating. However you can add free-float ring to each station.

Electric Case Feed System allows you to simply dump fired, cleaned and deprimed hulls into the bowl.  The Case Feeder orients the hulls right side up and fills the feed tube automatically, turning itself on and off as necessary, to keep the case feed tube full.

The Casefeeder will hold 600 .38 Special cases or 500 .223 Rem cases. 

Be aware this casefeeder is without the Case feeder plate that is appropriate for the type of ammunition you wish to reload. See here the Case feeder plate you need. 

A common question we hear is “Can I use the Bullet Feeder on my 550?” Or “Can I use the Bullet Feeder and still continue to use my powder check on my 650?”.

Such Seating and Crimping dies are available, and so we decided it was time we made them directly available to our customers as well. LEE Precision produces these, so no question about the quality. 

The 2-in-1 Seating and crimping die include an O-ring lock machined into the nut, which allows you to hand tighten only – and the die stays put! They include a finger adjustable floating bullet seater. For durability they are heat treated to ideal hardness and polished to the smoothest finish.

The Dillon RL 550C will produce match-quality ammo for over 160 different rifle and pistol calibers. 

These kits fit the RL300,  RL450, RL550 series, AT500 and BL 550 machines 

This kit contains: 

• Shellplate
• Powder funnel
• Locator buttons

To order choose the right caliber. 

* Indicates that this cartridge requires use of the Extra large Powder Die #21253 sold separately. 

An automatic casefeed system, similar to the one used on Dillon's commercial-grade Super 1050 machine and the XL 650, is now available for YOUR RL 550 series press! You simply dump a quart of cases into the hopper and turn it on. The motor-driven disc fills the case feed tube, a micro-switch shuts off the motor when the tube is full, and automatically restarts it when low. This case feeder only works for the handgun calibers listed under the casefeed caliber conversions. Rifle cases are too tall to feed with this system.
