Crackshot asked How much powder will the adjustable bar drop? It looks awful small in the pictures.
I'm not sure on that one Crackshot, I only use the Lee for my .45 ACPs. [6.1gr of W-231 tops]
For everything else, all of my rifle and other larger pistols, I still use my Dad's old Lyman All American Turret Press.
Later, I will check and see what it will drop, and send you a PM with the results.
What powder do you want to load with it, and if I have the same, I will try a drop with it. Give me a PM.

This is a link to a Lee PDF, It's a chart that shows volume settings for their disks.
You can use it to find out how much of a charge you can throw with a given powder.
The adjustable bar has a max of 1.6cc

I was talking about ME chambered221! I have 3 Dillons bolted to the bench WITH a Lee Classic cast turret set up to load for my 22K Hornet. I already had the dies, shell holder and the Lee classic press, I just figured I would try the Lee in its semi progressive mode with the 22K hornet, so far im pleased. I purchased the Lee Pro Auto Disk measure and the small primer saftey prime and rifle chargeing die for less than I could buying tool head, powder die, conversion kit for my 550B.

Not a problem chambered221.
My first Dillon was a Square Deal B I purchased in 1992. I then shortly there after ordered a 550, then a 650. After awhile I didnt need the 650 so I sold it and purchased another 550B.
I won CMP Distinguished Marksman with ammo loaded on my Dillon 550 and shot through my M1A & M1 Garand, my children have each won medals and trophys while shooting reloads from a progressive machine with there AR-15's.
