    I bought my 550 in the 1990s and have been using it ever since with no problems. Watching this, I see some changes and upgrades that I probably want to make. Thanks for the video!

    I love the 550 series, I'm not positive, however, I believe that press started out as a basic frame that was sold as a kit, those lacked the automatic functions, Powder measure, priming and such, all those could be added as kits later as desired. anyway the press looks and functions like new Walter, good job dude, peace - Dave
