I picked up a Dillon 550 last year and have been getting a lot of misfires due to primers not being seated all the way. I have the shell plate as tight as it can go and still turn smoothly, and have reset the primer cup/anvil according to the video tutorial on Dillons website. I’ve been getting about 10% misfires that will fire on a second try, and I’ve gone back to seating by hand with my Lee hand primer which has been 100% reliable. I’ve never had this problem using my Lee turret press, and if I can’t rectify this issue I’m selling the Dillon and going back to the turret. For range shooting it’s not such a big deal, just kind of annoying, but for my CC ammo it’s not going to cut it. Now I know all about the warning concerning handloads for CC, and am not concerned.
