reloading tip for reloading .223 on a Dillon 550

[sig2009]

Was going to buy the .223 Dillion Conversion Kit for my 550 when after doing some research I discovered that the 550 Dillon Conversion Kit for 380 ACP uses the same shellplate #3 and locator buttons #3 that .223 Remmington uses. So you can save some money and reload both 380 ACP and .223 Remmington with the same conversion kit. The kit numbers are different but the componet numbers are the same. You just have to buy the "A" powder funnel for the .223.

380 ACP Kit # 20133
Shellplate 3-13684
Locator buttons 3-14060

.223 Remmington Kit #21028
Shellplate 3-13684
Locator buttons 3-14060

weird. I just yesterday got out my .223 brass and began looking into what I would need for setting up my Dillon 550 for it ....


uhmm .... then wouldn't it be the same pins for 9 mm para/luger ?

Locator buttons are the same #3 but shellplate is different. Here is the link to the conversion chart: http://www.brianenos.com/pages/dillon/cal.conv.chart.html
