To load .223 on the 550 machine you will need the caliber conversion kit #20128, die set #10839, and either a toolhead & powder die, #13909 & #20064, or if you wish to dedicate a powder measure to the setup, order quick-change #22058. You will need to lube the brass, #13733, and we strongly recommend using a headspace case gage #13254 if you are shooting the ammo in a semi-automatic firearm.
