Can you reload the 338 Lapua Mag in a Dillon XL650 if so what Conversion parts will I need?

No. This cartridge is too tall to load on the XL650. It can be loaded on the RL550B, however.

Dillon does not sell 338 Lapua dies, nor do we carry them in another brand.

If you are still interested in reloading 338 Lapua on an XL650, I have a solution. Shorten the Indexer Block about a 1/4". This delays the indexing so the tall cartridge moves out of the die before the shell plate advances. The machine still indexes to the next station.

Did you try the fix for reloading the 338 Lapua? If so please let me know how it turned out for you! Thanks!
