What do I get with my Comprehensive RL 550 Kit?
Shooting Stuff's Comprehensive RL 550 system comprises the following:
|
RL 550B Machine |
This is the "big white box" that includes the main reloading machine with the tool head and primer system already fitted, as well as:
- Primer early warning system |
|
Calibre Conversion Kit |
Calibre Conversion Kit Box, with calibre-specific parts for 9mm Luger. |
|
9mm Carbide Die Set |
The 3-die set for progressive relaoding machines: |
|
Case Feeder |
The Mini RL 550 Case Feeder. |
|
Case Feeder Bowl |
The Mini Case Feeder Loader Bowl. |
|
Machine Mount |
The Machine mount raises the entire RL 550 above the bench's top, and spreads the load. A more stable system simply loads better! If necessary, the assembled 550-system stands securely on the machine mount. (Machine mount and Cartridge Case Bin & Bracket are a single unit) |
|
Bullet Tray Kit |
The Bullet Tray mounts to the left plate of the machine mount, and holds a few hundred bullets conveniently close to where they're needed. |
|
Toolkit |
The RL 550 Toolkit is a stylish, one-piece bracket that mounts to the "blue" Dillon progressive reloading machines to organise and store a set of ball-ended Allen wrenches and the 1-inch spanner. These tools are supplied in the kit and are what's required to adjust and basically service the machine. |
|
Bin Dam |
The Shooting Stuff Bin Dam #2. |
|
Powder Baffle |
The Shooting Stuff powder baffle ensures a consistent charge every time you load. |
|
Smooth Glide Roller Handle |
The roller handle runs on sealed bearings for enhanced reloading comfort and tactile feedback when seating primers. |
|
D'lite Illuminator |
The Shooting Stuff D 'lite Illuminator 220V is a mains powered LED lighting system. This handy light has a built-in switch and comfortably fits the central hole of the RL 550, XL 650 and XL 750 toolhead, illuminating the shell plate. |
|
Follower-Rod Hanger |
The Shooting Stuff Follower-rod holder for Dillon Machines is a holder that stores your primer follower-rod until you need it. The follower-rod holder is threaded to the primer housing, fits on all Dillon machines and is a convenient place to store your primer follower-rod. |
|
Smooth Glide Setting Star |
The Shooting Stuff Smooth Glide Setting Star makes it easy to adjust the powder charge. |
|
Low Powder Sensor |
This is a warning system that provides an audible and visual reminder when it's time to refill your powder reservoir. |
|
Spent Primer Chute |
The Spent Primer Chute for the RL 550 prevents spent primers from bouncing on the floor while you reload. |
Supporting Accessories included:
|
Case Lube |
While not absolutely essential when using carbide dies, we highly recommend easy-to-apply, spray-on case lube. Trust us on this - you'll feel the difference! |
|
Ammo Checker |
Check each and every one of your 9mm cartridges for absolute confidence that none have high primers, none are cracked nor have other damage. If that sounds like too much effort just use the gauge occasionally to keep your reloading process in tune. |
|
Primer Flip Tray |
The primer flip tray is used to quickly get primers "the right way up" after dispensing these from their tray. |
|
Primer Pick-up Tubes |
A pack of 4 additional primer pick-up tubes used to pick-up small primers from the Flip Tray. Together with the one included with the reloading machine you'll be able to pre-fill 500 primers so that you can conveniently load a substantial batch of ammo with minimum interruption to replenish components. |
|
Spare Parts Kit |
A collection of small parts that could easily get lost, or break, consider the Spare Parts Kit your insurance package until the Dillon Lifetime No-B.S. Warranty kicks in. After all, Murphy's Law states that if something can go wrong it will, and at the worst possible time (like the night before your match) |
|
Instruction Manual |
DVD Instruction manual for the Dillon RL 550. |
|
Machine Cover |
The RL 550 Machine Cover is perfect for keeping your equipment clean and free of dust, when not in use. |
