Found a deal on a 550 over the weekend.  It came with 223, 9mm, 38/357 conversion kits.  I am looking forward to getting it set up and running.

Hey, that's excellent news !

In the Reloading Directory in the Stickies is a list of accessory suppliers you might check. And we have several old threads about accessorizing the 550 you might want to look up.

My favorite 2 accessories are the Dillon "Strong Mount", and the "Spent Primer Chute" by UniqueTek.

Oh, and the Lifetime Warranty is on the press, not the original owner. So you are covered !

Tell us how we can help !

Many thanks, I forgot to mention the 550 came with a Dillon case feeder still new in the box.  I have reloaded since 1987 on a Lyman press.

I've had a 550 for years, and I finally bought a nice light for it.  It makes it a lot easier to see the powder before I seat a bullet.  I'll check out the spent primer catcher too!
