I'm posting this for a friend and former Marine who bought it new several years ago and never took it out of the box or assembled. Ill do my best to tell you all I can but some of you will know way more than me. (Ive used a Rockchucker single stage since the late 80's lol). The box is not perfect as it looks like something was spilled on it, but its structurally solid.
Dillon Precision 550B Progressive Reloading press. Looks like it will handle pistol land some rifle loads. Dillon precision powder measure. 4 position stations, removable tool heads, Dillon Primer tube with low primer warning, and all the parts/things it came with. Also includes 5 Caliber conversion kits (45LC, 455, 454) (38/35738LC) (223,222, 221) 308,30-06) (9mm, 38SUP). Some of the tubes with these have surface rust that i think steel wool would handle. I'll try to show in pictures. The conversion kits aren't cheap.
How about $750 shipped to the lower 48 for everything. Thanks for checking it out.

I have 6 of them. Great presses, and not a bad price with all of the conversion kits. Scheels is getting I think 550$ with no conversion kits.! someone will snatch this up!
 
I agree with 19Wyoming. Nice selection of Caliber Conversion Kit's. A little oooo steel wool and some elbow grease should clean them up and you can't beat Dillon's Warranty / Customer Service. Easily saving at least a couple hundred dollars with shipping included over buying new. GLWS
 
These Dillon 550's are my go to for handgun calibers. 1 for small primers 1 for large primers. Change out heads and shell plate and keep rolling.
He has a great caliber selection.
Same here, add a roller handle and the mount from Dillon and you are cooking with gas. Add powder measures and tool heads for the common stuff you load, takes about 2 minutes to go from 1 cartridge to the next.

The easy way to clean the expander/powder funnels is to chuck up a bore brush in a cordless drill and stuff the brush in the expander and use that to spin the expander, then you can clean them with some light oil and 400 paper or steel wool in a minute tops. If the inside is a bit spotty you can make a cleaner out of a pencil or dowel or similar, cut a slot in the end and fold some 400 paper into the slot, chuck that up in the drill and run it back and forth a few times with a little oil and all should be good. Yep, I rusted a few of mine once upon a time........

Price is good also, good luck with the sale.
