I have noticed that radius on the Dillon dies as well and it makes the resize/deprime much simpler.  RCBS dies seem to catch alot of case mouths, and if you aren't careful, you can ruin some brass very fast that way.  I have to use RCBS dies for a few of my odd ball calibers that Dillon doesn't make dies for, like the 32-20 and 375 SM.  When I load those, I usually go slow and manually tape each case prior to trying to resize so that the case inserts into the die.  I don't like to loose ANY 375 SM brass.

 

On powders, I find Unique to be a good powder for small cases as it is a bulky flake like powder  and a double charge would easily overflow the case.  Powders like H110 are very fine grained, almost like sand and don't fill the case as much even with a large charge due to the fact that they pack into the case volume very efficiently.  I use a lot of H110 as well as 2400 which is also a fine grained powder.  The watch words with reloading  are always PAY ATTENTION and TAKE YOUR TIME.   A friend of mine has the RL550B and likes it very much.  Sounds like you got a good deal on your outfit, no reason not to enjoy it.  I'd really like to get a second press and keep one set up for small primer and the other for large primer.  That will have to wait for better funding though.smile

 

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.
