30-06 conversio

#1 · January 4, 2012, 10:23 pm

Have a new RL550B that I received for Christmas set up in 9mm. Looking at what is available on the Dillon site there are several ways I can go to convert to 30-06 Springfield. What all will I need?

Any suggestions

At minimum, you will need:

30-06 die set #10840

30-06 conversion kit #20130

case lube #13733

If you wish to leave the dies preset, then order either the 550 Quick Change #22058 or a toolhead #13909 and powder die #20064.

If you are shooting this out of a semi-auto rifle, I strongly recommend a case gage #12679. This gage ensures the headspace is correctly set at the sizing die, a dimension not measureable with calipers.

Thank You, and yes I will be shooting with an M1 Garand.

Additional info: I will be loading for my CMP M1 Garand. I will not be doing a lot of reloading in 30.06 so I will not be buying the complete change over hardware. No need for a different powder measure or drop. I will be however using the Dillon 30.06 dies. I will be using a powder dribbler and beam scale to measure powder for each case. I will take advantage of your suggestion to get the Dillon case gauge.

Thanks
