Thanks! that is the one I built outta parts I had laying around. If you put your hand under the floor plate it just sits right there balanced.Good looking rifle there jester!
For some reason I have 2 RCBS measures...one with a small drum and one with a large set up. Kinda the same with the Dillon... a small bar and a large bar...but it has that QC thang Dub turned me on to....might be something to look into.Rainy day so fired up the 550. Found a decent load for some 75 grain RMR 2nds I picked up on the cheap a while back. 24.6 gr of CFE shoots well in two rifles so load em up!
Made the mistake of starting off with the small powder bar… set me back a little but got through the remaining 230 bullets with ease.
You’ll have to remind me what that GC thang wasFor some reason I have 2 RCBS measures...one with a small drum and one with a large set up. Kinda the same with the Dillon... a small bar and a large bar...but it has that QC thang Dub turned me on to....might be something to look into.
quick change thang
Quick Disconnect for Dillon Powder Measure
Quick and tool-less removal and installation of Dillon Powder Measures. Replaces the original powder die clamp and screws for the the Dillon Precision Powder Measures. Easy to grip design. The powder measure will be able to rotate slightly with the Quick Disconnect unlike the original clamp...entirelycrimson.com
not sure if this was the brand but same principle @Dub might remember the brand
I've always thought it was normal to have multiple powder measures. At one time I had four Uniflows, two small, two big. Now I'm down to two and a Chargemaster. For me and the way I reload the Uniflows, once set up, are faster than the Chargemaster. For working up loads, usually 20 rounds each, I prefer the Chargemaster, for quantities of my favorite established loads I'll drag out one of the 40 year old Uniflows.For some reason I have 2 RCBS measures...one with a small drum and one with a large set up.

That`s a great setup. I have used a similar 75 grain (Hornady) combo out to 400 with good results. CFE 223 is amazing powder for running progressive, I also use it in 308, 8x57 with. 170`s and 30-30.Rainy day so fired up the 550.

I haven't tried it in my 308 yet but now you got me wondering... Varget has been good to me in that cartridge.That`s a great setup.
