I have a small (???) problem with both my Dillon SD and 550C presses. The centre boot that holds the shell-plate in will turn with the shell-plate after being left idle for a few weeks, tightening the bolt till the shell-plate will not turn. It takes me forever to get it to stay when the shellplate advances to the next station, only to repeat the problem again on the next reloading session.

I have tried cleaning the bolt at the commencement of every reloading session, graphite and dry lube. But nothing seems to work.

Does anyone have any sage advise?
