Caliber Conversion Kit Parts List
Quote from Reloader on January 16, 2013, 8:21 pmI have the RL550B press. In speaking with a Dillon rep, he mentioned the same parts were used in 308 rifle as are used for 45 ACP.
I believe he was referring to the Caliber Conversion Kits.
In sorting out my list of future calibers I want to reload, I noticed there are 8 different Button sets and about 25 Shell Plates.
Is there a listing of individual parts for each caliber conversion kit? I would like to compare whats in each kit.
Thanks

Your Dillon rep was correct The shell plate and the locator pin are the smal for 308 and 45ACP, but the powder funnels are different. If you have the 45 ACP conversion all you need to do is get the 308 funnel.

Dillion used to have a HTML version of the kits. I do not know where it is now. I took a copy, hand edited it for the caliber I load and made a single summary page and have that posted on my reloading cabinet door so I can swap calibers referencing the parts list. This way I was able to have a section for Pistol and a section for Rifle. I was able to add rows for the unique calibers (ones I had to build a conversion kit for).

I haven't received all my press parts yet...So I hadn't made it that far in the manual.
