    Here is another review from a customer "
    Dillon RL-550B Extended Primer Plate with Ball Bearing
    " by Elliot Check.  There are several other reviews on YouTube also, just type "Dillon 550 primer upgrade."
    All videos are unsolicited and were contacted or discovered after they were made.
    Dillon 550B is a great press; however the priming system is its weakness. This plate has been developed to solve the primer slide binding/sticking. Two separate forces are pushing and pulling on the primer slide simultaneously while it moves towards the primer magazine to pick up a primer.
    How does the upgraded Primer Track Bearing plate work?
    First-When the primer slide (14281) is moving back into the primer housing/shield (20263) to pick up a primer, over half of the primer slide is sticking out,  unsupported by the factory Dillon primer track bearing plate, the primer slide return spring (13928) is pulling the bottom of the primer slide causing it to tip, which allows debris to get under the primer slide, which causes binding.
    Second- The primer slide is being pushed towards the primer housing on the right side by the operating rod (13869) to pick up a primer. This causes the primer slide to bind/rotate/twist in the channel of the primer housing/shield (20263). When It's fully retracted into the primer housing, is when it's mostly likely to bind up and get stuck.
    The Primer Slide Bearing Track is made to counteract the two issues.
    First-when the primer slide is sliding towards the primer housing, the bottom is supported by the extended plate, so the tipping is virtually eliminated which prevents debris from getting under the primer slide.
    Second-the sideways pressure on the primer slide from the operating rod is now being supported by the sealed ball bearing for the entire travel of the primer bar. By the ball bearing aligning the primer slide, the primer slide moves back and forth in a straight line, the binding which causes stuck primer slides has nearly been eliminated.
    This was tested extensively tested on two different Dillon 550B presses, small/large primers, with and without a case-feeder. During the testing, the priming system was only cleaned with compressed air.
    Thousands have been sold in the United States and worldwide. Happy customers have reported thousands of rounds loaded without the need to disassemble the priming system for cleaning. Please look at the reviews if you have doubts. I recommend only lubricating with powdered graphite, it helps keep it slick and running smoother.
    Included in the package: an Allen wrench, bearing, and detailed directions. If you have questions, concerns, comments feel free to contact me. My goal is to have 100% happy customers, so buy with confidence!
