Replacement toolheads for the Dillon 550 and 650reloading presses are CNC machined to exceptionallytight tolerances to ensure precise alignment ofdies in the press. Positions the dies exactly perpendicularto the ram s axis of force, keeping them perfectlyaligned in relation to each other, and directlyabove each of the rotating stations of the press.Helps you produce more consistent ammunitionwith greater accuracy potential a small additionalinvestment that helps you unlock the full potentialof your dies. The Standard toolhead is a good choicefor the reloader who wants high-volume output ofhigher-quality ammunition than can be produced withthe 550/650 factory toolhead. The Floating Die toolhead features lock ringsthat allow both the sizing and seating dies to float to center themselvesexactly over each case for precise, concentric bullet placement.

Increase the accuracy of your 550(20/08/2013)
I have used a Dillon 550 since the 1980s. I use it for almost all my precision rifle cartridges. These tool heads are much more accurate than the Factory heads. They will make all your rounds straighter.

OK, so have been using an XL650 to load rifle cartridges with reasonable results. Before integrating the Whidden tool head the runout distribution was from <.0005 - .004 TIR with the mean at approximately .002. After installing the Whidden tool head and making no other changes, the distribution is <.0005 - .002 with the mean approximately .001 TIR. Rarely does a round exceed .002 TIR. These measurements are somewhat bullet dependent: that is, high quality precision bullets when loaded always have a better TIR than others.
