recommended separate seating crimping. In fact Dillon sets on the stations that way. pour powder then seat... oy it's been a while since i've used a 550...

I like and prefer RCBS dies, that is what I use in my Dillon 550. The die head on the 550 accepts standard 7/8" dies. While Dillon dies are OK, they seem kinda basic, they work but prefer RCBS.
I use two seat/crimp dies, one for seating bullet and one for crimping, easier to set each die for a single action then trying to align up everything in one stroke.
