I already have the powder check for the 650 which I think works in the 550 too.

I hate to say it "can't" work on the 550 but it won't work unless you do some modifications.

Using my Dillon presses, I routinely check powder charges every once in a while by removing a charged shell from the press just to make certain the charges are what I want and are consistent.

I've done a lot of playing around with the 550 measure - it is plenty accurate if you use powders that meter easily and don't allow the powder level to drop too low.
