Quote from Reloader on September 27, 2019, 1:27 amI have an older RL550B, I've only used it for .41mag loading, I want to start loading 300 win. mag, I have a set of RCBS dies for this Caliber. Will it work?

To change caliber you'll need a Dillon Caliber Conversion Kit for the new caliber that fits your press. This will include a new shellplate for the new case, new brass locating pins, and a powder funnel for the new case (take the powder die off and swap out the powder funnel).
If you're using the small powder bar for the pistol loads, you'll probably want to swap that with the large powder bar for the rifle cases.
This should all be in your manual.
