Quote from Reloader on January 5, 2010, 4:45 pmDillon does not make a 5.7 die plate. I had a buddy make one for me. However the 5.7 case is very difficult to reload. Much like a 380 case, small, falls over easy, primers hard to seat, etc.
Because of the amount of case expansion it requires a full resize. I am using a single stage press for the full resize. I would not recommend this be done on a multistage press. There is a huge amount of stress on the loader and the case. The case is only good for 1 or two reloads. One does not want to do more than that because of case life. Can you say dangerous! After the resize I am able to use the xl650 as a progressive. Because the case is so narrow seating of the primer has problems. The primer sometimes tilts 90 degrees. In short a slow process with risks you need to understand. No range brass, knowing the times reloaded exactly, problems with full resize, problems with primers seating.
There is someone that is making a 550B die plate for sale. I do not know of any after market xl650 die plates.
