[QUOTE="Svashtar, post: 3070891, member: 112241"] My 550B primes perfectly, really. I got the aftermarket moly coated primer support plate from UniqueTek which helps, but honestly it did a good job for years before that upgrade. They've also been good to me on their "No BS" warranty, sending me a bunch of spare parts, including a couple of items they were supposed to charge me for. The last thing they sent me was a new bullet tray, because the original I bought had a finish issue. That being said, their pricing for new items is crazy now as you say, and their shipping charges are nuts. Maybe that's to pay for the "no BS" warranty support costs!? My low powder sensor got damaged by another junk Chinese leaking Duracell battery, and by the time I got a new one shipped to me it was $75. I recently took the whole press apart to grease the pivot arms and internals, and was impressed with it frankly. I'm glad I got the 550; I don't need or want a case feeder, i want to handle each case to inspect it, and have a mirror mounted over station 3 instead of a powder cop die. Plus caliber conversions are a lot less $ than they are on the 750. I might feel different if I was reloading for rifle on it, but for 6 handgun calibers it's been very solid for 25 years now. I’m sorry yours has been such a pain! [/QUOTE]
