But seriously, Dillon will replace it free. You might have to ship it back though.
I have a square deal that was refurbished like new. It did cost about $80 to ship.
BTW, that machine is available but I'm not sure what it's worth...40sw

I’d be very surprised if Dillon didn’t just send you a new one. If I remember correctly when you do a 550b conversion to the 550c they tell you to just toss the 550b frame. I’ve had really good experiences with Dillon customer service.

I'm curious as to how this happened.  I've loaded over 20k+ rounds in my Dillon 550b and stuck 308 brass in the die more than once.  Never had a problem with the press.
