Quote from Reloader on November 11, 2018, 7:31 amAm I crazy wanting to load these cartridges on my 550?
I don't see Dillon dies for the 50. I've been using Lee (ugh) dies with far less than favorable results. They are not playing nice with my Starline brass.
Aside from dies, what else do I need?
Please excuse my ignorance. I just inherited this 550B. It came with a couple complete tool heads with powder measures for 9 and 45. I've been watching videos to learn about this machine. Too bad I don't have a manual
Thank you

I'll download and print the manual. Thank you
