    For the most part they work pretty well. I bought my 550b well used, so most of the problems I had were due to worn parts. I would gladly upgrade.

    It is better to use 2 dies, one to seat and the other to crimp. Once the crimp dies is set, it should not need adjusting again. Only need to change the seat die depending on the bullet being used.
