We love to hear that! Sounds like it has treated you well over the years.

@@DillonPrecisionVideo it has. Reloading with the 550 is easy, accurate, and the Dillon needs very little maintenance with regular TLC. Glad someone told me to get the Dillon machine when i first started. It also saves me around 50% compared to buying new ammo.

No you can not.

About every 50,000 rounds or every other year.

Haha! Underrated comment. I just had to disassemble my press because the right-side upper armature link pin had started seizing up on the up / down stroke. Literally took me an hour to get it tapped out and I thought I was going to damage my press body. Was finally able to get it out by spraying gun oil into it and moving it back and forth until it started to lube up again, then finally got the damn thing out. Would be nice if videos like this covered a few troubleshooting steps for those of us with much older presses.

I’d only start with a new press if I owned anything other than a Dillion!

This is Gary, our Human Manual. You would be so lucky to have this wizard work on your machine. (Said respectfully)

Any grease. This is a VERY slow moving, low load, application. Nothing fancy is needed.

I use Mobile 1 wheel bearing grease, works like a dream. You can get it from any auto-parts or tractor supply store.

looks like PENN reel grease, its blue and water proof,saltwater resistance.

Dillon recommends Sheaffer 229 Ultra Red Supreme grease.

Skip Allen What did you use to clean the primer bar? I am having the exact same problem! The primer bar sticks all the time. I was thinking about using just regular rubbing alcohol, but it looks like there is some light colored corrosion. Is this just me?

@@JDVulcan Haven't cleaned mine yet but yes, I would use either rubbing alcohol or lacquer thinner, alcohol probably being the better of the two.

@@skipallen3309 Check ebay for an exchange of that primer bar plate with a bearing on it. That fixed the issue for me. Nothing else dig.

@@JDVulcan I just did mine yesterday. I cleaned everything with rubbing alcohol and lightly filed the primer bar and the block that it rides in, I also increased the chamfer on all sharp corners. I ran 100 rounds through afterwards with zero issues! Before I would have to pull slightly on the bar to get a primer to drop.

@@ernieparker4309 Yes, the filing was key for me. It seems that I tightened the bolts too much and it pulled the heli-coils from the tube assy. Once I filed them smooth, everything has worked excellently!!

Oh no. I've been seeing more and more people perpetuating the myth, "WD40 isn't actually a lubricant," and, "WD40 doesn't lubricate because it evaporates." I don't know where people got these erroneous sayings. (Probably some KZfaq "maker" that thinks because they've used a saw and MIG welder, they're tradesmen.") WD40 is a lubricant. I hope you didn't believe then when they told you that. It gets perpetuated because most people don't have trade experience or material science knowledge. So you can't fully blame them.

@@xenonram Exactly Andrew, Most people have no idea. They just keep buying their kerosene and coconut oil, in small blue and yellow spray cans.
