Dillon 550 hang up
Got a Dillon 550 (kind of; my friend bought it and stores it at his place but I mainly put it together and run it for us).
It works great with one small cavil: the indexing star tightens up after every 4 or 5 clicks, slowing down the process. I've taken it out and cleaned it, lubed it, tried it tight, loose, everything I can think of.
This is a recent development: for the first couple hundred rounds through it, it worked flawlessly but now binds up every chance it gets it seems.
The linkage and ram work great as does everything else; it's just the indexing plate.
What's the problem?

Tightened the set screw in the ram that locks the shellplate bolt? 0 -
Hawk has it right. Raise the ram and you will see a set screw that locks the shaft the indexing star rides on, it'll be on the left side of the ram as you're facing the machine. 0 -
Set screw gets my vote.

Ya or the star has one bent arm. 0 -
Got it.
Thanks guys.
I've only assembled it once and forgot about that screw on the ram itself.0 -

I thought I did pretty good for never having put together something that complex and involved before, but I guess there's just no pleasing some people.0 -
For the price they ought to put themselves together. 0
